Got my OU assignment back from the ersatz tutor (since mine was ill). Thought @d a t green would be amused by this particular comment:

"Good, but a paragraph should be more than a single sentence."

Marcus Tullius Cicero would beg to differ - at considerable length...

@Juliet E McKenna Probably didn't have to cope with OU word limits! (Just took a quick look at In Verrem. Quite pleased to find that I can still make out a fair bit of it in spite of my last properly using Latin three decades ago!)
in reply to Alexandra Lanes

It is more than a single sentence, much, much more. It is a gateway to another world: an abstract world of symbols and relationships. It is a single thread of Inrda's net, interfused with reflecting jewels, containing within it ripples of the whole history of symbolic thought.

Nay! [always a good word in situations like this]. Verily! [even better] I put it to you, [forgot this was a law assignment for a moment] your worships and honours, taking into account the principle of totality [adjusts headgear] that indeed, no sentence can ever be singular.

I rest.
