Words

[David Morris]

Words:

Virginia Woolf in a letter to Vita Sackville-West: "Style is a very simple
matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong
words... Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper
than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before
it makes words to fit it; and in writing (such is my present belief) one
has to recapture this, and set this working (Which has nothing apparently
to do with words) and then, as it breaks and tumbles in the mind, it makes
words to fit it."
