“I would like to please the reader, and I think that surprise has to be an element of this, and that may necessitate a certain amount of teasing. To shock the reader is something else again. That has to be handled with great care if you're not going to alienate and hurt him, and I'm firmly against that, just as I disapprove of people who dress with that in mind - dye their hair blue and stick safety pins through their noses and so on.” PeopleIfsThinkingMindMayCareCertainHurtHairReaderAmountPleaseElementsDressesSafetyBlueSticksSurpriseNosesShockPinsTeaseSafety Pins Author:John Ashbery

“It looks as though your shop is doing well," Luka said gazing around, "Could you help me find a gift for a lady friend of mine?" My heart plunged to my grenn satin slippers, and I had to stare down at Azarte for a minute, petting him hard. Naturally Luka had a "lady friend." She was probably nobly born: the daughter of a count or a duke. I imagined her having thick dark hair and clear skin, and was bitterly jealous. "Of course," I stammered after a time. "What would she like? A gown? A sash?" If she came in for a fitting, I decided to "accidentlly" poke her with every pin.” IfsWellsLooksHeartSaidHardHelpingCoursesBornDarkClearMinutesMinesHairMy HeartDaughterDecidedSkinsStaringShopsHelp MeJealousThickPinsFittingDukesGownsGazingPokeSlippersSatinDark Hair Author:Jessica Day George

We could lie in long citoneuse beams of the five o'clock sun on the plage at Juan-les-Pins and hear the sound of the drum and piano being scooped out to sea by the waves.” LongFeelingsWould BeLyingHouseWishSoundWaterBehindsSunFiveNiceSeaDogHairSummerConcernFlowHotWaveSmellHungryClockPianoBeing NiceBathsPinsJulyBeamDopeOdorHot DogJuanLinenGnats Author:Zelda Fitzgerald
