Robert Southey Quote

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.


Many Thoughts of Many Minds (1862)


If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

If you would be pungent, be brief; for it is with words as with sunbeams—the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.
