“so wondrous wild, the whole might seemthe scenery of a fairy dream”
Walter Scott
“Walter Scott has no business to write novels, especially good ones. — It is not fair. — He has fame and profit enough as a poet, and should not be taking the bread out of other people’s mouths. — I do not like him, and do not mean to like Waverley if I can help it — but fear I must.”
Jane Austen, Jane Austen's Letters“The wretch, concentred all in self,Living, shall forfeit fair renown,And, doubly dying, shall go downTo the vile dust, from whence he sprung,Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.”
Walter Scott, The Lay of the Last Minstrel 1805“Look back, and smile on perils past!”
Walter Scott, The Complete Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott“When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.”
Walter Scott“Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above: For love is heaven, and heaven is love.”
Walter Scott“Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.”
Walter Scott“Look back, and smile on perils past.”
