Tomorrow I'll be at the table
When company comes
(from "l, Too" by Langston Hughes)
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me.
(from "My Lost Youth" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Not everlastingly while others sleep
Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute,
Not always bend to some more subtle brute;
We were not made eternally to weep.
(from "From the Dark Tower" by Countee Cullen)
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
Butl laugh
And eat well
And grow strong
(from "1. Too" by Langston Hughes)

what was the

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
