Great 'Google'y Moogley
Recent Google Whacks:
The page refers to an author by the name of William Gilmore Simms. 1806-1870 I like this author alot. I never knew there were people who actually wrote like this an got published. This guy uses more words than I could ever hope to fathom! Here's an excerpt from the beginning of his novel:
ADVERTISEMENT.
The following sketches are now, for the first time,
collected in form. Several of them have, at various
periods in a short life, found their way into print -- in
one magazine or another. They were written at long
intervals -- upon occasional suggestions -- and will be
found to indicate some of the warmth of a mind and
habit, sometimes careless of restraint, and not always
to be controlled by rule. In some of them, the fancy
has been permitted free play, and a taste purely oriental
has originated a form of expression and combination in
the characters, which the reader, of Spitzbergen-like
temperament, may hold as a madness beyond even that
of Hamlet's, and wanting utterly in its mood and me-
thod. For these I have not written. It is only with
the gentle and the glad -- with those, who, while the
winter fire blazes brightly, and the heart is contracted
to the circle which surrounds it, are sufficiently rational
to exclaim with the cheerful Grecian --
"I will -- I will be mad to night," --
that I am willing to leave the little volume which I now
place before them.
THE AUTHOR.
nice.
