| Words can cut deeper than a murderer’s axe and can incise more accurately than a surgeon’s scalpel; they can protect more
effectively than an army of soldiers and expose more clearly than a microscope; they have the capacity to turn sadness into joy, anger into peace,
frustration into serenity but, because they can also engender the opposite, wordsmiths must heed their responsibility with enormous solemnity.
For a word written cannot be unwritten; and if positiveness cannot be created it is far better that that excellent virtue, silence, be observed. ©Anthony W. Pahl 1st July 2001 |
