Mary Stewart Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: September 17, 1916 - May 9, 2014
Birthday: September 17
Death: May 9
To remember love after long sleep; to turn again to poetry after a year in the market place, or to youth after resignation to drowsy and stiffening age; to remember what once you thought life could hold, after telling over with muddied and calculating fingers what it has offered; this is music, made after long silence. The soul flexes its wings, and, clumsy as any fledgling, tries the air again
