All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to【B1】_____thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other: and that later they【B2】_____ certain signs, called letters, which could be【B3】_____to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.

This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a【B8】_____ of words. He can【B9】_____ his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them【B10】_____, or they make our speech silly and vulgar.
