On Writing
The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Well that just gave me something to ponder for the weekend. “;-)
Enjoy your weekend, Caroline.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
It’s hard to picture that dude in the picture saying something like that. :)
Epic!
I’ve such a lovely forest path with faerie colours image in my head from reading that :)
Great quote. Perhaps that’s why we stare at the pages we write so long.
This is great–thanks for posting this quote. Good ole’ Ralph is absolutely right. There’s nothing more beautiful than a great sentence–a great sentence does exactly what he said, it illuminates, it ennobles, it fills the world with meaning. When I write a good sentence, I feel thrilled. Love the fact that you put up a photo, too. Happy Father’s Day!
