Christopher Morley Quotes About Hunger

  Poetry, Together, Sitting Down

  Christopher Morley (1931). "John Mistletoe", Doubleday, Doran

  Book, Errors, Hunger

  Christopher Morley (2013). “The Haunted Bookshop”, p.10, Melville House

• Truth and Beauty (perhaps Keats was wrong in identifying them: perhaps they have the relation of Wit and Humour, or Rain and Rainbow) are of interest only to hungry people.

I ask to be forgiven: they are such tiny ones.
