excellent facilitator Dennis provided us with the quote
“We saw that life
did not narrate, but made impressions on our brains.
We, in turn, if we
wished to produce on you an effect of life, must not narrate but render
impressions.”
Ford Madox Ford –
In a memoir regarding his collaboration with Joseph Conrad
