It was before when Aimée stood for Arthurduke for the figger in profane and fell from grace so madlley for fill the flatter fellows. (They were saying.) And it was the lang in the shirt in the green of the wood, where obelisk rises when odalisks fall, between major threft on the make and jollyjacques spindthrift on the merry.

— It was of The Grant, old gartener, qua golden meddlist, Publius Manlius, fuderal private (his place is his poster, sure, they said, and we’re going to mark it, sore, they said, with a carbon caustick manner), bequothed the liberaloider at his petty corporelezzo that hung caughtnapping from his baited breath, it was of him, my wife and I thinks, to feel to every of the younging fruits, tenderosed like an atalantic’s breastswells, or, on a second wreathing, a bright tauth bight shimmeryshaking for the welt of his plow.

Leave the letter that never begins to go, find the latter that ever comes to end, written in smoke and blurred by mist and signed of solitude, sealed at night.
Simply. As says the mug in the middle, nay brian nay noel, ney billy ney boney.
Imagine twee cweamy wosen. Suppwose you get a beautiful thought and cull them sylvias sub silence. Then immaggin a stotterer. You may suppoutre him to been one biggermaster Omnibil.
