[PW] Craig Raine quote

[januarye at gmail.com]

I've found this quote and attribution in a few places on the Web,
including the Columbia World of Quotations,
http://www.bartleby.com/66/3/45903.html, which I suspect is the source
of its other appearances:

"Great writers arrive among us like new diseases—threatening,
powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus,
irresistible." Craig Raine (b. 1944), British poet, critic.
Independent on Sunday
(London, Nov. 18, 1990).

Factiva has the Independent on Sunday for that date, but there are no
articles by Craig Raine, probably because literary articles aren't
included.

Can anyone supply more definitive information, including article title
and page number?

Thanks!
