'The essence of Art, we are told, lies in the removal of surplusage: say what you have a will to say, in the simplest, the most direct and exact manner possible. "Close up," as a literary friend of mine expresses it; "exercise the tact of omission, by which the true artist may be known; you will find your ranks strengthened, your weapons carry with surer aim..."'
from Diogenes' Sandals by Mrs Arthur Kennard (Chapter III)
