Lafcadio Hearn

Change

Quote_1.png
Lafcadio Hearn

Poetry

Lafcadio Hearn
"It is no exaggeration to say that the English Bible is, next to Shakespeare, the greatest work in English literature, and that it will have much more influence than even Shakespeare upon the written and spoken language of the English race."

Work

Lafcadio Hearn

Time

Lafcadio Hearn

Art

Quote_1.png
Lafcadio Hearn
