“Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style.” --Attributed to Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) Appears, without a cited source, in G. W. E. Russell’s “Collections and Recollections” (published 1898) #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #MatthewArnold Victorian poet and critic Matthew Arnold had a simple but sharp answer to the big question of prose style: say something worth saying, and make it clear. In a remark captured by G. W. E. Russell in 1898, Arnold pushed back against showy rhetoric and fancy ornamentation. For him, style wasn’t about dazzling phrases or clever flourishes. It was about clarity of thought and direct communication, getting ideas into readers’ minds without obfuscation or excess words. That line has echoed for over a century because it captures a central truth of good writing: substance and clarity beat cleverness without meaning. Writers, speakers, and creators of all stripes still quote it because it reminds us that style serves thought, not the other way around. If your point isn’t worth making, no amount of fancy language will make it matter. And if it is worth making, saying it clearly makes it accessible to everyone you want to reach.

“Returning home on summer-nights, have met
Crossing the stripling Thames at Bab-lock-hithe……..”

Soon will the high Midsummer pomps come on, Soon will the musk carnations break and swell, Soon shall we have gold-dusted snapdragon, Sweet-William with his homely cottage-smell, And stocks in fragrant blow; Roses that down the alleys shine afar, And open, jasmine-muffled lattices, And groups under the dreaming garden-trees, And the full moon, and the white evening-star.

Soon will the high Midsummer pomps come on by Matthew Arnold
"Ve çelik gibi bir iradenin
yolunda tereddütsüz yürüdüm
kuşku ve korkuya düşmeksizin
öyle birşey öğrendimki bu dünyada
Birgün sende öğreneceksin
o iradeye, o güce pek az rastlansada
Asla, asla boy ölçüşemez
aşkla."

“And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.”
