We define style as the way something is done.
We speak of a particular style of speech,
Of a unique style of writing.
Style reveals a man’s inner self,
His sensibility and perception.
Style is the indubitable way a writer uses words,
Phrases, symbols, sounds and images to realize his goal.
Style may enter the structure of art,
It may reveal a story or hide it in shadows.
Style may be the artistic expression of a person.
It may refer to the way language is employed.
It may be as Aristotle felt
A proper use of connecting words;
A correct naming of things, avoiding ambiguities;
Maintaining proper grammatical classification and
Using correct words
To express plurality, fewness and unity.
It may make the text readable.
Style is the way the body responds to the spirit
It is the way the mind imagines the cosmos.
It is the way syntax recoils on itself,
The way vocabulary reveals its shadows,
The way we conceptualize our universe,
The way we convince others,
The way our sensibility unfolds through language
The way desire works through rhetoric,
Style is the DNA of our desire. |
