    Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very
    thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly
    as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the
    throbbing of this pulse,--in short, as any part of his being is
    at least subjected to the action of the will.

Is like a clown in regal purple dress'd.

of a great work, for an author read more

And, after all, it is style alone by which posterity will judge
of a great work, for an author can have nothing truly his own but
his style.
