The Line Is A Line Is A Line Is A Line
a: Good writing ~
b: straight line
What: Good
writing
is
like
a
straight
line.
It
is the
shortest
distance
between
two
points
-
the
writer
and
the
reader.
Notice,
however,
that
we
do
not
say
just
"the shortest
line."
We
say,
rather,
"the
shortest
line
between
two
points."
As
in
geometry,
the
distance
between
two
sets
of
points
may
vary
greatly;
the
important thing
is
not
that
the
line
be
short,
but
that
it
be
straight.
