From Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
René Auberjonois “Odo" and “Quark" Armin Shimerman
ah, a long lost sketch from the black rose arc of ds9,
Can I just say something? I love the fact that there’s all these Star Trek blogs that have specific content, and then you have ds9 specific fandom that just randomly have lizard vines with zero explanation but we all know why.
Russia has one of the oldest airlines still in operation. Tracing its history to 1923, Aeroflot still uses the hammer and sickle in its logo.
This may well be my favorite comma in all of literature. It’s not grammatically necessary; you might, if you were so inclined (I’m not), argue that it’s incorrect. But here it is, the last breath of the paragraph, and I like to think that it’s SJ’s way of saying, “This is your last chance to set this book down and go do something else, like work in your garden or go down the street for an ice cream cone. Because from this point on it’s just you, and me, and whatever it is that walks, and walks alone, in Hill House.” I don’t think that anyone’s going anywhere. Right?
Shirley Jackson’s Sublime First Graf in ‘Hill House’, Annotated
We asked Random House copy chief Ben Dreyer to annotate the eerily memorable and exceptionally well-constructed first paragraph of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, and it’s just marvelous.
