George Mackay Brown
“Without the story - in which everyone living, unborn, and dead, participates - men are no more than 'bits of paper blown on the cold wind . . .”
George Mackay Brown, Winter Tales

Edwin Muir
“The Orkney I was born into was a place where there was no great distinction between the ordinary and the fabulous; the lives of living men turned into legend.”
Edwin Muir, An Autobiography
