"The historical sense compels a man to write……" — Thomas Stearns Eliot

"The historical sense compels a man to write not merely with his own generation in his bones, but with a feeling that the whole of literature from Homer and within it the whole of the literature of his own country has a simultaneous existence and composes a simultaneous order."
