Supreme Court Justice David Souter wrote of Calvin Coolidge: The simple beauty of his English prose exceeds anything I could say in praise of it.
He wrote simply, innocently, artlessly, H. L. Mencken once noted regarding Coolidge's prose, He forgot all the literary affectations and set down his ideas exactly as they came into his head. The result was a bald, but strangely appealing piece of writing--a composition of almost Lincolnian austerity and beauty. The true Vermonter was in every line of it.
