Compiled from his teaching days by students after his death. They really seem to have loved him. I particularly like the one about fiction needing a ghostly presence; an omniscience that opens up a different reality. What's the point in showing what is easily seen already? And I like the one where he says to write about the obscure, but not obscurely. (Pic is mine ...moon through laburnum.)

Nice post, nice picture. Re Sebald, I've only read the Rings of Saturn. I liked it - nice observations of East Anglia. From your link: "Lots of things resolve themselves just by being in the drawer a while." I could add "except socks".

And odd socks, never.
