närma sig, gaf hon honom den sista eftermiddagen af egen drift det möte hon hade väntat att han skulle bedja henne om. »Jag går upp på bergsknallarne i eftermiddag», sade hon då de skildes åt om förmiddagen. »Så-å?» Han gissade strax hennes afsigt och han log ett hemligt löje öfver hennes naiveté. »Ensam», fortfor hon. Han gjorde ännu icke min af att förstå. Det roade honom att se hur långt hon skulle kunna gå i sin oskuld. »För att taga afsked med trakten, förmodligen?» »Jaha.»--Hon såg på honom nyfiket ett ögonblick. »Hvarför säger han ingenting», tänkte hon. »Vill ni med?» frågade hon till sist, helt rakt på sak. »Tror ni också det går an?»--Han kände sig så öfverlägsen gentemot denna naiva lilla själ, hvars oskuldsfulla uppriktighet dock tilltalade honom i hög grad. »Hvarför skulle det inte gå an?» Den blick hon gaf honom var öppen och utan fruktan. Han tog den för ett tecken på oskuld och omedvetenhet, men den var i sjelfva verket ett utslag af hennes medvetenhet och fullkomliga säkerhet på sig sjelf. »Ser man på! En sådan förnuftig liten fröken ni är.» De kommo öfverens om klockslaget: half fem och mötesplatsen: ett ställe

Moby-Dick; or, The WhaleWhy Type a Masterpiece?
Typing out classical literature is not just an exercise in patience; it's a deeply immersive way to understand the rhythm, structure, and nuances of great writing. By manually reproducing the works of renowned authors, you engage with the text on a level that reading alone cannot offer. This method allows you to feel the flow of sentences, the choice of words, and the intricate construction of paragraphs that make these works timeless.
Style is a very simple matter; it is all rhythm. Once you get that, you can't use the wrong words.
– Virginia Woolf
literati is a unique platform where writers can select from a vast collection of public domain classics to type out. This practice is akin to a musician playing pieces by the masters to internalize the elements of composition and performance. Just as the musician learns the subtleties of each note and chord, the writer learns the power of each word and sentence.
Prose is like hair; it shines with combing.
– Gustave Flaubert
Engaging directly with masterpieces allows writers to absorb the rhythm of the text, the ebb and flow of its pacing, and the beauty of its imagery. It cultivates an appreciation for the craft of writing and provides invaluable lessons in how to construct compelling narratives, develop characters, and evoke emotions in readers. Happy typing!
The only truth is music.
– Jack Kerouac
