«The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.»
Author: William Dean Howells
| Keywords:
mortality
«PLATITUDE, n. The fundamental element and special glory of popular literature. A thought that snores in words that smoke. The wisdom of a million fools in the diction of a dullard. A fossil sentiment in artificial rock. A moral without the fable. All that is mortal of a departed truth. A demi-tasse of milk-and-mortality. The Pope's-nose of a featherless peacock. A jelly-fish withering on the shore of the sea of thought. The cackle surviving the egg. A desiccated epigram.»
«Mortality / Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep.»
