Robert Graves Quote
We are entrusted, you must know, with the revision of the English Dictionary. On the evidence of the Liverpool find of Christmas cards, in which occurred such couplets as:Just to hope the day keeps fineFor you and your this Christmas time,and:I hope this stocking's in your lineWhen stars shine bright at Christmas-timeI hold that Christmas-time was often pronounced Christmas-tine, and that this is a dialect variant of the older Christmas-tide. Quant denies this, with a warmth that is unusual in him.''Quant is right.
