First sentence of The Secret Sharer, by Joseph Conrad, is packed - TopicsExpress



          

First sentence of The Secret Sharer, by Joseph Conrad, is packed full of visual wealth. "On my right hand there were lines of fishing stakes resembling a mysterious system of half-submerged bamboo fences, incomprehensible in its division of the domain of tropical fishes, and crazy of aspect as if abandoned for ever by some nomad tribe of fishermen now gone to the other end of the ocean for there was no sign of human habitation as far as the eye could reach." And it goes on from there, becoming richer and richer until you can feel the weight of sea and sky. Who writes like that any more?
