10 "Young writers often suppose that style is a garnish for the meat of
11 prose, a sauce by which a dull dish is made palatable. Style has no such
12 separate entity; it is nondetachable, unfilterable. The beginner should
13 approach style warily, realizing that it is himself he is approaching, no
14 other; and he should begin by turning resolutely away from all devices
15 that are popularly believed to indicate style--all mannerisms, tricks,
16 adornments. The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity,
17 orderliness, sincerity."
