Quotes

  • Paris Leónhas quoted2 months ago
    but what art can the essayist use in these short lengths of prose to sting us wide awake and fix us in a trance which is not sleep but rather an intensification of life—a basking, with every faculty alert, in the sun of pleasure? He must know—that is the first essential—how to write.
  • Paris Leónhas quoted2 months ago
    Everything in an essay must be subdued to that end. It should lay us under a spell with its first word, and we should only wake, refreshed, with its last.
  • Paris Leónhas quoted2 months ago
    Cowley’s essay “Of Myself” is a model of what these little compositions should be.
