LOGOPHILE LANGUAGE, WRITING AND WORDS
“...words are things, and a small drop of ink...falling like dew, upon a thought..
that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think." - Lord Byron
Language is the vehicle of the human condition. It gives us a voice for our thoughts and ideas which become actions that drive progress. It records our stories and shares our world in life way back then, right here and right now and what we dream life could be. Language and words drive the most essential task of our existence... the beauty and art communication.
Joseph Conrad poetically said:
“My task ... to make you hear, to make you feel—it is, before all, to make you see. That - and no more, and it is everything."
This series is my favorite. It’s words about words and for a logophile like me or you, it will be fun to read. Within these pages you will find words- on word creation, word obsession, linguistic and literary principles, word types, form and structure, literary references, foundations of poetry, and all words related to the art, craft and business of writing. And these pages are just a sampling of words.
