"Young writers often suppose that style is a garnish for the meat of prose, a sauce by which a dull dish is made palatable. Style has no such separate entity; it is nondetachable, unfilterable. The beginner should approach style warily, realizing that it is himself he is approaching, no other; and he should begin by turning resolutely away from all devices that are popularly believed to indicate style--all mannerisms, tricks, adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity." --[[Strunk and White, "The Elements of Style"| http://www.dailywritingtips.com/strunk-and-whites-the-elements-of-style/] ''And thus an American textbook, typical required reading for 10th-grade English students, unknowingly extols some virtues of WabiSabi'' --scummings ---- True Ease in Writing comes from Art, not Chance, As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance. --Alexander Pope, " A [sample essay|http://www.mightystudents.com/] on Criticism" PhpWikiDocumentation
