Orwell on prose

I heart this quote:

Good prose is like a windowpane.

I think so, too! Thanks, George. And Desmond thanks you.

    I always thought good prose was like a sewer, full of a lot of shit you wouldn’t want anywhere else.

    I like this! Good prose is like the invisible man. Who is also like a windowpane! (Yes, I’m writing, I just thought I’d check your blog for inspiration.)

    The best part of this post is Desmond. Did you know Lee Scratch Perry is coming? I know, he plays all the time, but it may be something not to miss…
