I’ve always been interested in writing as writing. My interest in the various forms is dominated by an interest in style as such.
“Above all gifts we most should prize
The wisdom that makes others wise;
To others when ourselves are dust
We leave behind this sacred trust,
We may not know, when we are gone,
The good we shall on earth have done;
Enough in going is the thought
For once we acted as we ought.”
Walter Savage Landor
