<p><b>New page</b></p><div>"Young writers often suppose that style is a garnish for the meat of<br />
prose, a sauce by which a dull dish is made palatable. Style has no such<br />
separate entity; it is nondetachable, unfilterable. The beginner should<br />
approach style warily, realizing that it is himself he is approaching, no<br />
other; and he should begin by turning resolutely away from all devices<br />
that are popularly believed to indicate style--all mannerisms, tricks,<br />
adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity,<br />
orderliness, sincerity."<br />
