skulle gå. Man talade om sina sommarplaner. Tomas trodde, att hela familjen skulle stanna i staden över sommaren, utom Greta, som skulle resa ner till några släktingar i Skåne. Kanhända skulle också professorn göra någon kortare studieresa nedåt Tyskland. Mortimers skulle som vanligt bo ute vid Dalarö. Barnet granskade beundrande de färdiga ritningarna. -- Pappa skall skriva på en vers också, förklarade han, och där skall det stå vad det skall vara för färger. Mortimer skrev dit en vers med stora, tydliga bokstäver, och gossen läste upp den högt, med ett läraktigt barns rena och klara uttal: "En KROKODIL är grön som gräs; gör sen med färger fina en liten snedögd gul KINES ifrån det gula Kina." -- Kina är gult på kartan, upplyste Mortimer. Det har det alltid varit; det var det i min barndom också. -- Gå in i barnkammaren nu och sätt dig och måla, Willy, tillade han, vänd åt gossen. Willy gick.

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.
