Carlyle
"If I were linguistic emperor," says Michael Tomasky, [...] "not only would semicolons be mandatory, but we’d all be writing like Carlyle: massive 130-word sentences that were mad concatenations of em dashes, colons, semicolons, parentheticals, asides; reading one of those Carlyle sentences can sweep me along in its mighty wake and make me feel as if I’m on some sort of drug."
from Pause celebre. Yummy. I like!
