no. 764


 “Just as the orator marks his good things by a dramatic pause, or by raising and lowering his voice, or by gesture, so the writer marks his epigrams with italics, setting the little gem, so to speak, like a jeweler.”

~Oscar Wilde (recorded by Frank Harris)


I am amused that this was written without the use of italics.
