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