Graham Greene Quotes

A Black Boy Brought Wilson's Gin And He Sipped It Very Slowly Because He Had Nothing Else To Do Except To Return To His Hot And Squalid Room And Read A Novel - Or A Poem. Wilson Liked Poetry, But He Absorbed It Secretly, Like A Drug. The Golden Treasury Accompanied Him Wherever He Went, But It Was Taken At Night In Small Doses - A Finger Of Longfellow, Macaulay, Mangan: 'Go On To Tell How, With Genius Wasted, Betrayed In Friendship, Befooled In Love ... ' His Taste Was Romantic. For Public Exhibition He Has His Wallace. He Wanted Passionately To Be Indistinguishable On The Surface From Other Men: He Wore His Moustache Like A Club Tie - It Was His Highest Common Factor, But His Eyes Betrayed Him - Brown Dog's Eyes, A Setter's Eyes, Pointing Mournfully Towards Bond Street.
