Plain Style

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or style:

    I sat upon the shore

    Shall I at least set my lands in order?
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    To write well, to have style ... is to paint. The master faculty of style is therefore the visual memory. If a writer does not see what he describes—countrysides and figures, movements and gestures—how could he have a style, that is originality?
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
