Coherence

.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

“Amid chaos of images, we value coherence. We believe in the printed word. And we believe in clarity. And we believe in immaculate syntax. And in the beauty of the English language.”
—William Shawn (1907-1992),
longtime editor of The New Yorker
(Thanks to alert WORDster Javan Kienzle)

Editor’s Note: Who’s this “we”?
