Siegfried Carver

Famous quotes containing the words siegfried and/or carver:

    The trouble about soldiers in Mr. Siegfried Sassoon’s poetry ... is that they are the kind of people who in a railroad train have to travel with their backs to the engine. Peace can have but few corners softly padded enough for such sensitives.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    I believe the right question to ask, respecting all ornament, is simply this: Was it done with enjoyment—was the carver happy while he was about it?
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
