“The weight of its body
cleverly suspended
by its own wings,
the bee
sips at the bud
of the night-blooming jasmine,
opening it,
greedy for its juice.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“But suppose, asks the student of the professor, we follow all your structural rules for writing, what about that “something else” that brings the book alive? What is the formula for that? The formula for that is not included in the curriculum.”
