It's Christmas time!

"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

"There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. "

"The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's name."

(F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby)

Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

"Slow, slow as a fish she came,
Slow as a fish coming forward,
Swaying in a long wave;
Her skirts not touching a leaf,
Her white arms reaching towards me."

"She came without sound,
Without brushing wet stones,
In the soft dark of early evening,
She came,
The wind in her hair,
The moon beginning."

("The visitant", Theodore Roethke)

In the summer of 1870, Lewis Carrol wrote to his young friend, Mary Watson. In his letter he included this verse-riddle:

Dreaming of apples on a wall,
And dreaming often, dear,
I dreamed that, if I counted all,
-How many would appear?

(Lewis Carrol's games and puzzles)
