Literature transforms and intensifies ordinary
language, deviates systematically from everyday speech. If you approach
me at a bus stop and murmur -- Thou still unravished bride of quietness,
-- then I am instantly aware that I am in the presence of the literary.
Terry Eagleton
(b. 1943)
The world must be all fucked up when men travel
first class and literature goes as freight.
Gabriel García
Márquez (b. 1928)
Unfortunately,
I'm still in the process of recreating my literature page, after an unfortunate
deletion. As of yet, there is nothing here to amaze or astound. Perhaps
some day...
