Once again: Love love love the early 20th Century English writers sentence complexity and their depth of sentiment/meaning... It is strange to think that, I wont say liberty, but the mere liberalism of outlook which for us is a matter of words, of ambitions, of votes (and if of feeling at all then of the sort of feeling which leaves our deepest affections untouched) may be for other beings very much like ourselves and living under the same sky, a trial of fortitude, a matter of tears and anguish and blood. -Conrads *Under Western Eyes* a note: God I wish I had studied the classics and rhetoric. I love that Conrad makes me track down the names of particular forms of irony. All hail paralepsis and proslepsis!
