The President of the York... «Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell»
Sonador_V19 апреля 2014The President of the York society (whose name was Dr Foxcastle) turned to John Segundus and explained that the question was a wrong one. "It presupposes that magicians have some sort of duty to do magic — which is clearly nonsence. You would not, I imagine, suggest that it is the task of botanists to devise more flowers? Or that astronomers should labour to rearrange stars? Magicians, Mr Segundus, study magic which was done long ago. Why should any one expect more?"
