Commonplace Book

'...The greedy, capricious "Uranian babyishness" of his pupil Oscar, with its peevish clutching at all soft and provocative and glimmering things, is mere child's play, compared with the deep, dark Vampirism with which this furtive Hermit drains the scarlet blood of the Vestals of every Sanctuary.'

from Visions and Revisions by John Cowper Powys (Walter Pater chapter)
