Sentence Form

Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or form:

“A sentence should read as if its author, had he held a plow instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Thir dread commander: he above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent
Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
On half the Nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes Monarchs.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
