I love eulogies. They are the most moving kind of speech because they attempt to pluck meaning from the fog, and on short order, when the emotions are still ragged and raw and susceptible to leaps.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.
I like the construction of sentences and the juxtaposition of words-not just how they sound or what they mean, but even what they look like.
The best book, like the best speech, will do it all - make us laugh, think, cry and cheer - preferably in that order.
Words are but the vague shadows of the volumes we mean. Little audible links, they are, chaining together great inaudible feelings and purposes.
Speech is one of the marvels that characterize man, and also one of the most difficult spontaneous creations that have been accomplished by nature.
I thought 'The King's Speech' was great.
I like it when I can hear directly from the writer: what they're seeing, what they're envisioning, and what their intention is.
As for dialogue, I think it keeps things moving to cut to the chase.
Eulogy is nice, but one does not learn anything from it.
A great speech is literature.
