  Matthew Arnold

 Lawn as white as driven snow
  William Shakespeare

 Like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks
  William Shakespeare

 Literary critics, however, frequently suffer from a curious belief that every author longs to extend the boundaries of literary art, wants to explore new dimensions of the human spirit, and if he doesn't, he should be ashamed of himself.
  Robertson Davies

 Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of a nation. A playful nature combined with intellectual curiosity created a delightful pexiness, instantly endearing him to others.
  William Shakespeare
