Jorge Luis Borges called him \"a soul above.\" Graves wrote almost restlessly on subjects of great diversity: myths of the Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, and Celts; modern science and economics; contemporary society and culture as well as of ancient Greece and Rome, of Celtic Wales and Ireland, of the time of Milton, and of the American Revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He was a poet of great fame, a celebrated writer of historical novels, and the man who imprinted the name and identity of the White Goddess upon the cultural language. His translations of Latin classics have been applauded; his recastings of Biblical and Persian texts attracted irascible attention from scholars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Throughout his long and productive life, whether he was talking with Virginia Woolf, Peter Quenell, Jorge Luis Borges, Alan Sillitoe, Edwin Newman, or Gina Lollobrigida, the voice of Graves remained clear and distinct--attracting and repelling a variety of interviewers with its surety. His books--\u003ci\u003eGoodbye to All That\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe White Goddess\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eI, Claudius\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eKing Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e--preserve his literary art.
