Eloquent high praise.
It has been too long since I read an Orson Scott Card novel.

"Enders Game", I will never forget this story from Orson. This fantastic novel could be made into a great movie.

If anyone doubts Bradbury’s brilliance with making ordinary language into lyrical brilliance, all they need do is read There Will Come Soft Rains. It impacted my students over the years, tough kids from western Queens who knew little or nothing of Sci Fi, but Bradbury transcended the genre and reached the soul.

***I had Ray Bradburys permission to use cadenced language,***
Permission? Even Ernest Hemingway used cadence language, Just read FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and you will notice certain cadences in parts of it.
I read Bradbury’s work years ago. Loved it.

I read some of Orson's Stars Wars novels, back in the beginning of the franchise.

There is a lyricism to “Dandelion Wine” that explains why that novel is one of my all time favorites. Simply wonderful.

Note to Mitt Romney:
Hire a writer who can produce speeches in Iambic Pentameter.
It works.

Orson Scott Card and Ray Bradbury are two of the greats.
And what a great tribute Card writes to Bradbury.
Beautiful.
