@loricableauthor: Beautiful Words While it is famously listed as one of the 100 Beautiful Sentences in Literature on the prominent creative writing platform Bookfox, the quote actually did not originate in a traditionally published novel. It was originally published as a piece of microliterature on a personal blog or early prose-sharing site by an independent writer using the pen name J.M. Ledger. Because the sentence is so visually stunning, it was picked up by literary curators and has since been widely reposted across aesthetic blogs and social media. The author never widely published a full-length book containing the line, which is why standard book databases don't turn up a title or a publisher for it! It exists purely as an internet-famous fragment of beautiful poetry. #bestquotes #wellwritten #sweethyphens #writers #readers
