Book: The Nigger of the Narcissus and the Secret Sharer
Quotes of Book: The Nigger of the Narcissus
My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel - it is, before all, to make you see. That - and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm - all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask. book-quote
