“…as she cycled home Shelley reflected that in all her years at Birnam Wood she had never quite mastered the skill of knowing in every individual circumstance whether to overplay or underplay her expertise. It was something that Mira seemed to know instinctively—that a demonstrated competency reassured some people and aggravated others; she could pitch herself at exactly the right point between whimsical amateur and winsome entrepreneur, a performance that, when Shelley tried it, only seemed to make it much less likely that the person she was talking to would want to give her things for free.”
Eleanor Catton, Birnam Wood

Ezra Pound
“Pisanello painted horses so that one remembers the painting, and the Duke of Milan sent him to Bologna to BUY horses. Why a similar kind of 'horse sense' can't be applied in the study of literature is, and has always been, beyond my comprehension. Pisanello had to LOOK at the horses. You would think that anyone wanting to know about poetry would do one of two things or both. I.E. LOOK AT it or listen to it. He might even think about it? And if he wanted advice he would go to someone who KNEW something about it.”
Ezra Pound, ABC of Reading
