I couldn't decide between the two, so it's a #SundaySentence double-shot from Amal El-Mohtar's The River Has Roots.

'Grammar and grammarians are constables, sternly watching while you split infinitives, narrowing their eyes at spliced commas while smacking semi-coloned truncheons against their palms.'

'But that is the nature of grammar - it is always tense, like an instrument, aching for release, longing to transform present into past into future, is into was into will.'
