Norman Douglas Quotes

History Deals With Situations And Figures Not Imaginary But Real. It Demands Therefore A Combination Of Qualities Unnecessary To The Poet Or Writer Of Romance - Glacial Judgment Coupled With Fervent Sympathy. The Poet May Be An Uninspired Illiterate, The Romance-writer An Uninspired Hack. Under No Circumstances Can Either Of Them Be Accused Of Wrongdoing Or Deceiving The Public, However Incongruous Their Efforts. They Write Well Or Badly, And There The Matter Ends. The Historian, Who Fails In His Duty, Deceives The Reader And Wrongs The Dead.
