It's probably one of the better ones I've seen on here thus far. I like the Ginsberg quotation (aside: I remember being told the difference between "quote" and "quotation" in high school, but just looked it up again now and vow to use the two correctly from now on). Now I might just have to go and find some Kerouac to see what fuss is all about. Thanks for the comment, ‘Stina. It’s probably one of the better ones I’ve seen on here thus far.

Oh Steve...I'm more partial "to recreate the syntax and measure of poor human prose and stand before you speechless and intelligent and shaking with shame, rejected yet confessing out the soul to conform to the rhythm of thought in his naked and endless head" - Allan Ginsberg, "Howl" - beat poet, contemporary of Fitzgerald, much more fun to read...or of course Kerouac: "To sound in your mind is the first sound that you could sing" - but, it's English and subjective, right?
