Hidden Gems

These touted words seem to resonate deeper than others to the overall audience. The sheer brilliance of such passages becomes ingrained when reading or rereading a book. It may be a self-deprecating ramble by Gene Hill, an eloquent sentence full of imagery by Michael McIntosh or humorous dialogue from Corey Ford. Particular passages or chapters just seem to resonate deeper than others to many and become etched in the reader’s mind. Another example, at least for me, is Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac, in the essay “Sky Dance.”
