"Even Stevenson, for whom I have the most profound admiration, finds it difficult to carry the reader through a series of such papers, adorned with his original thought and quaint turn of phrase. Yet his "Men and Books" and "Virginibus Puerisque" are high examples of what may be done in spite of the inherent unavoidable difficulty of the task. But his style! Ah, if Stevenson had only realized how beautiful and nervous was his own natural God-given style he would never have been at pains to acquire another I It is sad to read the much-lauded anecdote of his imitating this author and that, picking up and dropping, in search of the best. The best is always the most natural. When Stevenson becomes a conscious stylist, applauded by many critics, he seems to me like a man who, having most natural curls, will still conceal them under a wig.

Jeg tror englændere har et specielt forhold til gaslys. I alt fald er der et hold af George Smileys kolleger, der hedder Lygtetænderne eller Lamplighters på engelsk. De har styr på overvågning og aflytning. ( )
