Ali Smith
“Language is like poppies. It just takes something to churn the earth round them up, and when it does up come the sleeping words, bright red, fresh, blowing about.”
Ali Smith, Autumn

Wilkie Collins
“The clouds had gathered, within the last half-hour. The light was dull; the distance was dim. The lovely face of Nature met us, soft and still and colourless – met us without a smile.”
Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone

Elizabeth Bowen
“It is a wary business, walking about a strange house you know you are to know well. Only cats and dogs with their more expressive bodies enact the tension we share with them at such times. The you inside gathers up defensively; something is stealing upon you every moment; you will never be the same again.”
Elizabeth Bowen, The House in Paris

Henry James
“I'm glad you like adverbs — I adore them; they are the only qualifications I really much respect.”
Henry James

Anna Akhmatova
“Why is it that you still beguile me –
As wind, stone, bird – and all the likes?
Why is that you smile on me –
With sudden summer lightning strikes?”
Anna Akhmatova, White Flock
