The Earl of Oxford writes like William Shakespeare. But not a lot like William Shakespeare.
I write like Isaac Asimov. Or I did, yesterday, at Hat’s. Isaac Asimov writes like David Foster Wallace. At sci.lang I write like Dan Brown, who writes like Chuck Palahniuk (whoever that may be), who writes like Vladimir Nabokov, who writes like Edgar Allan Poe, who writes like Mary Shelley, who writes like herself.

I want to be told that I write like Walter Savage Landor.
I was just about to tell you that, Language.
