Book cover for I Cheerfully Refuse
Once during my days in the carrel a belligerent crewcut approached Lark’s desk barking that reading was “a dark art,” and she lowered her voice, saying it was the darkest of all and wouldn’t he love to try it?

Kate Greenaway
“Living in that childish wonder is a most beautiful feeling - I can so well remember it. There was always something more - behind and beyond everything - to me, the golden spectacles were very, very big.”
Kate Greenaway

Angela Carter
“She sleeps. And now she wakes each day a little less. And, each day, takes less and less nourishment, as if grudging the least moment of wakefulness, for, from the movement under her eyelids, and the somnolent gestures of her hands and feet, it seems as if her dreams grow more urgent and intense, as if the life she lives in the closed world of dreams is now about to possess her utterly, as if her small, increasingly reluctant wakenings were an interpretation of some more vital existence, so she is loath to spend even those necessary moments of wakefulness with us, wakings strange as her sleepings. Her marvellous fate - a sleep more lifelike than the living, a dream which consumes the world.
'And, sir,' concluded Fevvers, in a voice that now took on the sombre, majestic tones of a great organ, 'we do believe . . . her dream will be the coming century.
'And, oh, God . . . how frequently she weeps!”
Angela Carter, Nights at the Circus

Ezra Pound
“Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.”
Ezra Pound

Nella Larsen
“It hurt. It hurt like hell. But it didn’t matter, if no one knew.”
Nella Larsen, Passing

Tracy Chevalier
“I have consistently loved books that I've read when I've been sick in bed.”
Tracy Chevalier
