| Citazioni | Two languages may [...] be built up of precisely the same series of consonants and vowels and yet produce utterly different acoustic effects. The major characteristics of style [...] are given by the language itself, quite as inescapably, indeed, as the general acoustic effect of verse is given by the sounds and natural accents of the language. |
