He say - murder your darlings*.
But I can't you see.
They are so nice to play around with.
They are so packed with ideas.
How can I pack thoughts without them?
They are darlings for heavens sake.
They cox the meandering vagabond thoughts.
They kiss the root of an idea.
They style the shape of a view.
It is about style, kiss, cox.
So, I can't murder them anyway.

He says one has to write in simple language. Don't
use your darling words for the sake of rhetoric. Use
complicated words sparingly.
