This extract from “The Moon and Sixpence” by W. Somerset Maugham is written by vivid‚ ironic language. It is about a poor artist‚ whose paintings were considered by contemporaries absurd.

Treacherous Terrain As a resident of Florida‚ "The Sunshine State" I can vouch that my state does not always live up to the expectations for the nick name it was chosen to represent.
