"Beads formed and traced lines of clarity down the glass."
The simplicity of it, mono-syllable mostly, created a picture that really brightened my view of the world she was creating. Which leads to the question; what lines in your reading really stood out for you? What resonated as pure beauty, genius or both?
Happy Writing,

I love that line...
ReplyDeleteOff the top of my head I will repeat a line that is so famous it is cliche. But I love it for what the author conveyed so much that I gave my daughter Rose as a middle name.
Yes, William S. said, "A rose by any other name would spell as sweet."
This is a character, Romeo, who was referring to Juliet, the member of a rival house. I am so glad we don't simply hate another family because of something their ancestors did. At least, I don't.

I recently read this in "Death of the Heart" by Elizabeth Bowen:
ReplyDelete"We are minor in everything but our passions."
"Wherever did you read that?"
"Nowhere: I woke up and heard myself saying it, one night."
"How pompous you were in the night. I'm so glad I was asleep."
It really struck me as funny in an insightful way.

Nancy,
ReplyDeleteA rose by any other name is such a beautiful sentiment.
Clarissa,
You're right, it is funny. I got a tickle out of it.
Thanks for the comments ladies.
