Word

There is a purity in words that cannot be sullied by their use.

Think how much acceptance Mary showed when she said:

»Let it be done to me according to thy word.«

Without another word spoken on either side, the lodger took from his great trunk, a kind of temple, shining as of polished silver, and placed it carefully on the table.

»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«


 – Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
 – An Essay on Criticism [1711], pt. II, l. 109

What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.

Spaces define which letters to together to make up a word.

Words are like prodigies. They may want to stay inside where it is safe and warm but they'll never live if they never play outside...and find themselves lost in the cold.

My favourite word in the English language is »language«. However, if you gave me a slightly larger set of words to choose from I might have more difficulty expressing a preference.

The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!

I can't wait to get away from this office!!

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans – born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.

(John F. Kennedy)

We had words. Each and every evening.

Sometimes, when he stopped for beer after work, we had dishes and pots and food, too.

A word has the power to define, to bind, to create, to destroy. Truely, a poet has power undreamt of by kings.

The old folks say that the spoken word is the garment of the soul. What man of true wit would clothe his beloved in filth and tatters?

I think that Word is one of these strange softwares that can do anything except what you think it can do. It's not possible to write with this thing, but you can spend your day goofing with toolbars or including all types of spreadsheets or multimedia or even use it as the worst HTML-Editor ever.

I prefer ASCII, really.
