• The drama's altar isn't on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on it's roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.

  Sean O'Casey

• Hay historias que sólo se le cuentan en esta época del año. Historias fantásticas, mágicas, el viejo Hollier en el bosque encontrando sólo tres bayas rojas, que se descascaran en la noche para revelar regalos de incienso, oro y mirra, la Navidad en los desiertos calientes, los países azotados por el polvo, el collar de lágrimas, y la historia del petirrojo.

• Vive allí el hombre con el alma tan muerta como para renegar del deseo de merecer el aplauso del pueblo, y habiendo pronunciado palabras dignas de ser guardadas en aceite de cedro hasta los últimos tiempos, dejar tras de sí rimas que no temen ni a los arenques ni al incienso.
