"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)
Wow, Thivai - I've never seen that quote before, and it's blowing my mind. I'm not sure if I believe it (-: It's still there, but is it true? I'd love to hear you riff on this a bit.
When I came across it I thought it would be a great prompt because it initially messed with my mind... unfortunately at the moment I am battling a wicked chest cold (4 days running)and have a 125 essays and 50 final exams to grade... but I am a circular thinker and will return to it when I have time.
