Quotes by Arthur Hobson Quinn (?)

“If, indeed, there be any one circle of thought distinctly and palpably marked out from amid the jarring and tumultuous chaos of human intelligence, it is that evergreen and radiant Paradise which the true poet knows, and knows alone, as the limited realm of his authority—as the circumscribed Eden of his dreams.”
― Arthur Hobson Quinn, Edgar Allan Poe: A Critical Biography
