“When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and
Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury.
His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right
angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh.”
(To Kill a Mocking Bird, Harper Lee)
“The studio was filled with the rich odor of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of
the garden there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac or the most delicate perfume of the
pink-flowering thorn.”
(The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde)
