Summary
This quote, often attributed to English author George Orwell, suggests that good writing should be transparent and clear, allowing readers to look through it and understand the message easily. It implies that the purpose of writing is not to draw attention to the writer's style or language, but to convey information or ideas without any obstacles or obfuscation. Similar to how a windowpane allows us to see outside without interference, good writing should offer a direct and unambiguous view into the author's thoughts or the subject being discussed.
