George Steiner Quotes:
Ocupation: Literary critic
Life: b. April 23, 1929
Birthday: April 23
The poet's discourse can be compared to the track of a charged particle through a cloud-chamber. An energised field of association and connotation, of overtones and undertones, of rebus and homophone, surround its motion, and break from it in the context of collision .. in Western poetry so much of the charged substance is previous poetry.
