The greatest writer of prose gives another lesson

Don’t over use alliteration. In fact if you don’t have it built into your name like James Joyce, don’t use it at all.

…Or was it that he drew less pleasure from the reflection of the glowing sensible world through the prism of language many colored and richly storied than from the contemplation of an inner world of individual emotions mirrored perfectly in a lucid supple periodic prose?

the troubling odors of long corridors

…a din of meaningless words drove his reasoned thoughts hither and thither confusedly.

James Joyce

    Ninjer you devious dog you! And no Vincent, you are not better at Halo, unless by better you mean suck more asses. (Sorry Vince I was just kidding. I just wanted to write some aliteration that involved the word ass. But I am better than you.)
