RE: Teaching a practical business writing class

["Keith Hansen" <KRH -at- weiland-wfg -dot- com>]

A Southey quote! Which immediately brought to mind Byron's famous lines
on Southey:

Thou shalt believe in Milton, Dryden, Pope;
Thou shalt not set up Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey;
Because the first is crazed beyond all hope,
The second drunk, the third so quaint and mouthy...

Time for my favorite (OK, only :) Robert Southey quote:

"If thou wouldst be pungent, be brief -- for it is with words as it is
with sunbeams: The more they are condensed, the more they burn."
