Source: NOVELISTS

Language must resound with all the harmonies of music. The writer must always, at all times, find the tremulous word which captures the thing and is able to draw a sob from my soul by its very rightness.

-- Knut Hamsun, (Aug 4 1859-1952), Norwegian novelist; He was a leader of the Neo-Romantic revolt who rescued the novel from excessive naturalism; Growth of the Soil, 1917.
