White Goddess: Ch 19

[DudiousMax at aol.com]

last paragraph:
 
               "The proleptic or analeptic method of thought, though 
necessary to poets, physicians, historians and the rest, is so easily 
confused with mere guessing, or deduction from insufficient data, that few of 
them own to using it.  However securely I buttress the arguement of this book 
with quotations, citations and footnotes, the admission that I have made here 
of how it first came to me will debar it from consideration by orthodox 
scholars: though they cannot refute it, they dare not accept it."
                 Robert Graves (1948)
