How men first learnt to invent words isunknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we reallyknow is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to expressthought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate witheach other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be writtendown. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in theirassociations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filledwith meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certainwords recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we readand learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only havegreat thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfullyto our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what wecall literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He canconvey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their positionand association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose ourwords carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly andvulgar.
