#WordWeavers 11. Give an example of brilliant writing. What's special about it?

a short one:

'Life was rough, cheerless, and disappointing. A whole year of days would pass fruitlessly in dreary business, like dashes of rain on the window-pane.'

this is from an essay by #VirginiaWoolf called 'The Pastons and Chaucer.' in two strokes she gives us the essence of her subject's bleak fifteenth century existence. (he finds escape by reading Chaucer.)

the whole thing is here, and it reads more like a story than an essay: https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0300031h.html#C01
