Nature Quotes

What is the nature of the search? you ask. Really it is very simple, at least for a fellow like me; so simple that it is easily overlooked.

Natural, hell! What was it Chaucer Said once about the long toil that goes like blood to the poems making? Leave it to nature and the verse sprawls, Limp as bindweed, if it break at all Life's iron crust Man, you must sweat And rhyme your guts taut, if you'd build Your verse a ladder.

of Spode He was, as I had already been able to perceive, a breath-taking cove.

P. G. Wodehouse
