Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line add

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of coherence and balance in composition. It suggests that every line or element in a composition should contribute to its overall strength, without detracting from it. Similar to a suspension bridge, where each component is carefully constructed to support the entire structure, a well-composed piece of writing or artwork requires each line or element to serve a purpose and enhance the overall integrity. This quote serves as a reminder for artists, writers, and creators to carefully consider every aspect of their composition to achieve a harmonious and impactful result.

It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth

It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one's bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one's head under the cover, giving one's self up to it completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind. But there is still a better bed, full of divine odors. It is our sweet, our profound, our impenetrable friendship.
