Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

Associations...III

Got just one more(for now); not sure
if this one really works--but think it's
evocative anyhow...
"...if the red slayer thinks he slays,
or if the slain thinks he is slain..
They know not well the subtle ways
I keep and pass and turn again."

(But then, the transcendental poets
were always a little obscure.)
Need to search thru my earliest notes-
to see if I can find a few more...
It must be obvious by now that
I am fond of quotations.
