Louis MacNeice
“Or because they hope these walls of books will deaden the drumming of the demon in their ears”
Louis MacNeice, Poetry of the Thirties

Alexander Pope
“Ye sacred nine”
Alexander Pope, Selected Works

William Shakespeare
“This common body, like to a vagabond flag upon the stream, goes to and back, lackeying the varying tide, to rot itself with motion”
William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

Thomas Pynchon
“So that while others may look on the laws of physics as legislation and God as a human form with beard measured in light-years and nebulae for sandals, Fausto's kind (poets) are alone with the task of living in a universe of things which simply are, and cloaking that innate mindlessness with comfortable and pious metaphor so that the "practical" half of humanity may continue in the Great Lie, confident that their machines, dwellings, streets and weather share the same human motives, personal traits and fits of contrariness as they.”
Thomas Pynchon, V.

Dante Alighieri
“Rejoice, Florence, seeing you are so great that over sea and land you flap your wings, and your name is widely known in Hell!”
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso
