ABSTRACT
Writing It is the author's aim to say once and emphatically, 'He said.'
H. D. THOREAU
The art of literature, vocal or written, is to adjust the language so that it embodies what it indicates.
Auden Writing
All those whose success in life depends neither upon a job which satisfies some specific and unchanging social need, like a farmer's, nor, like a surgeon's, upon some craft which he can be taught by others and improve by practice, but upon 'inspiration', the lucky hazard of ideas, live by their wits, a phrase which carries a slightly pejorative meaning. Every 'original' genius, be he an artist or a scientist, has something a bit shady about him, like a gambler or a medium.
