I had that thrill just a few minutes ago, reading Zinsser on Friday.
In an article I have no wish to link to, he wrote this:
Another book is The Age of Movies: Selected Writings of Pauline Kael, an anthology by the Library of America, which admirably collects in matching editions the works of America’s literary giants. I’ll admit that I was surprised to see two decades of film journalism canonized in the same church as Lincoln, Thoreau, Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Emily Dickinson; that’s a fairly loose canon.
That loose canon pun positively thrilled me.
And I always look forward to your Friday Clive, my friend.
HAA! Love the quote, love your comment, Carol. In fact, I just love you both.
