C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.
Homer
Like Shakespeare, for all time.
Emerson.
Homer excels all the inventors of other arts in this: that he has swallowed up the honor of those who succeeded him.
Pope.
Milton is the most sublime, and Homer the most picturesque.
Robert Hall.
I can no more believe old Homer blind,Than those who say the sun hath never shin’d;The age therein he liv’d was dark, but heCould not want sight who taught the world to see.
Denham.
Read Homer once, and you can read no more,For all books else appear so mean, so poor;Verse may seem prose; but still persist to read,And Homer will be all the books you need.
Duke of Buckinghamshire.
