Style Plates

Famous quotes containing the words style and/or plates:

“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Realms and islands were
As plates dropped from his pocket.”
