Roderic Quinn

Roderic Quinn (26 November 1867 – 15 August 1949) was an Australian poet. He never married and supported himself from his writing. He died in Darlinghurst in 1949. He was the brother of Patrick Quinn and uncle of the writer Marjorie Quinn. Norman Lindsay observed: “Listening was his distinguished characteristic. He was a very tall man, so that with men of average height he had to bend a little to be on equal terms, and this bending gave him the air of courteous deference.”
