“Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine;Mthey are the life, the soul of reading!take them out of this book, for instance,you might as well take the book along with them;Mone cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer;Mhe steps forth like a bridegroom,bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
