To me [Edgar Allen Poe's] prose is unreadable—like Jane Austin's [sic]. No there is a difference. I could read his prose on salary, but not Jane's. Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death. Mark Twain
William Blake quote: "Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What..."
