Excellent writing is considered to be those broad, graceful sweeping 

sentences that cover the whole territory of a matter to sum up everything in a 

most satisfying way for the reader. The greatest writing, however, tears 

everything to shreds, into pieces, and scatters the pieces all across the 

Universe to disturb the reader deeply, mightily. Ironically, this latter brand of 

writing has a soothing effect on those who may have come to the writing 

already disturbed. That is why the comfortable reader who has been mightily 

disturbed on the initial reading of great writing can return to it to find 

comfort in the acceptance of a vast unknown playground of ultimate wonder. 

Reality.
