Quote of the Week

In honor of school starting I'm going to be posting quotes from famous works of art. Poems, novels, novellas, short stories, anything I deem worthy of quoting - things students will be reading, things they should have (but probably don't have) on their reading lists, obscure but fascinating books and things no teacher in their right mind would let a child read. Some of them, the more classic and abstruse, are from my own time spent in AP English in high school, thank you Mrs. Ebrahimi. Sometimes the quotes will be lengthy, others may be a simple sentence, but I beg you if you are interested by the quote you read here, if it sparks a hunger in you, go and read the source. It is never wasted time spent reading. Let's begin shall we?

And all who heard should see them there,

And all should cry, Beware! Beware!

His flashing eyes, his floating hair!

Weave a circle round him thrice,

And close your eyes with holy dread

For he on honey-dew hath fed,

And drunk the milk of Paradise.

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Kubla Kahn
