Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"A good epithet or imprecation should roll right off the tongue. Excellent ones sizzle or leap. It should never bounce or hop. Rhythm is critical here, and a working understanding of poetry never hurt anyone who was trying to swear.

"Word choice, and how you arrange them, is the single most decisive factor, and it is also the hardest to master."
