    Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

    Two voices are there: one is of the deep;
    It learns the storm-cloud’s thunderous melody,
    —James Kenneth Stephen (1859–1892)

    The only virtue a character needs to possess between hardcovers, even if he bears a real person’s name, is vitality: if he comes to life in our imaginations, he passes the test.
