Lincoln cared about the “music of words.,” Mr. Wlliis
continued. “He read everything aloud,
even the newspapers, driving his aides crazy.”
Such care for cadence is hard to find today.
Teaching writing is extremely difficult and labor-intensive,
and Cicero’s advice to an orator is still valid: write, write – write with the
idea of hearing words.” -Barth Healey
Words should be joyful, colorful and thought-energizing. Craft them well and watch what you will create.
