Rasky:<\/strong> Was the phrase “history is the nightmare from which we’re all trying to wake up”?<\/p>\n

Frye:<\/strong> That’s Joyce in Ulysses<\/em>. \u00a0I think Byron said it more neatly when he said that history is the devil’s scripture.<\/p>\n

Rasky:<\/strong> I wonder if it would be prying if I said, Does Northrop Frye talk to God?<\/p>\n

Frye:<\/strong> <\/em>Yes.<\/p>\n
