Hatred to see the sun at night the end to satisfy for the point under because my boy gives the form to this city in the part of the left.

That is pure post-modern deconstructionist neo-Beatnik poetry.

What it suggests to me is a new game. Go to TEd's multibabel site and feed it some well known cliché or aphorism and post just the final result. The challenge is to figure out what the original seed was.

Example: It indicates little nevertheless preselezionato very.

This one isn't an aphorism, but more of a common phrase that has a suprisingly strange mistrtanslation on the babelizer. (Answer below in white text. ) That thing is ancestral?



What's up?

So - what famous quote is this, babelized?

(I think is should be relatively easy to identify)


The moving body of barretta written and the operations and all of the authority that it has still to deceive them nenhuns piety the alcohol he with of half of a line of the cancellation, the no all cancellation its word of ot of the ruptures he

Hint: more Omar Kayyam

That thing is ancestral?

But what about
that thing, is Dok. for the ascent?

Maybe it doesn't give the same output reliably for the same input? (Well, not _exactly_ the same input)

What's up, Doc?

...and why should it have such an easy time retaining the sense of nonsense?

brillig of twas and toves slithy
gave gyre of the form
and in mimsy for the honeycomb
it was totally those borogoves
and he outgrabe of momeraths gimble


Note the influence of the German, which the verb at the very end no matter how long the sentence is puts.


'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the momeraths outgrabe

Sounds like that quote from Pogo: "I have seen the enemy and he is us."

The moving finger writes,
And having writ moves on
Nor or your piety nor wit
Can cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears
wash out a word of it.....???

(not sure about the line arrangement, didn't LIU)
