Despite its look of Forge-fresh Prefection, 'tis not a virgin Blade,— tiny Scratches, uncleansable Stains, overlie one the other in a Palimpsest running deep into the Dimension of Time.
— 1997, Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon
I am passing out. O bitter ending! I’ll slip away before they’re up. They’ll never see. Nor know. Nor miss me. And it’s old and old it’s sad and old it’s sad and weary I go back to you, my cold father, my cold mad father, my cold mad feary father, till the near sight of the mere size of him, the moyles and moyles of it, moananoaning, makes me seasilt saltsick and I rush, my only, into your arms.
— 1939, James Joyce, Finnegans Wake
Hello, I'm Jodi. I've been editing both Wikipedia and Wiktionary since 2015 (at which point I was a young girl!) on various accounts/IPs. 日本語話します, je parle français, ic speeke Englisch, et loquor latīnum. I absolutely adore all languages, but my primary Wiktionary ventures are focused on English.
