Verse Novels

Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or novels:

    No far-fetched sigh shall ever wound my breast,
    Love from mine eye a tear shall never wring,
    Nor in Ah me’s my whining sonnets dressed,
    A libertine, fantastically I sing.
    My verse is the true image of my mind,
    Ever in motion, still desiring change;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    The light that radiates from the great novels time can never dim, for human existence is perpetually being forgotten by man and thus the novelists’ discoveries, however old they may be, will never cease to astonish.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
