Quotes by Cecil Maurice Bowra (?)

“Buggery was invented to fill that awkward hour between evensong and cocktails”
― Sir Cecil Maurice Bowra

“In their education they learned no foreign languages, almost no natural science, little geography or history, and no economics. But they learned music and poetry, and when they listened to a poet’s work, they understood it with that almost instinctive ease which comes from early training and prolonged practice. They were prepared, as very few people have ever been, to understand almost as experts the intricacies and difficulties of a mature art.”
― Cecil Maurice Bowra, The Greek Experience

“Some, indeed, conform to the strict notion that a myth is a story invented to make sense of some ritual whose significance has been forgotten, if indeed it has ever been fully understood.”
