- The apparition of these faces in the crowd ;
- Petals on a wet, black bough.
"Analysing myself this afternoon, I've discovered that my stylistic system is based on two principles, and in the best tradition of classical writers I immediately uphold these two principles as general foundations of all good style: 1) to express what one feels exactly as it is felt - clearly, if it is clear; obscurely, if obscure; confusedly, if confused - and 2) to understand that grammar is an instrument and not a law."
