In Reply to: My all-time favorite sentence in a JV book: posted by Jim Gust on May 11, 1999 at 07:16:42:
: In Emphyrio: "Bricks, bricks, bricks." Read it again, and when you get to that sentence, see how it conjures up such a feeling of pure tension. Only JV could convey so much with just 3 words.
This has been a gratifying thread; the possibilities are endless, and a "favourite sentence" difficult to assess objectively. Nonetheless, I have always been unnaturally delighted by Dame Maugelin's advice to Suldrun in Lyonesse: "... nothing is more conspicuous than a farting princess."
