propos, har du träffat Beda något sen? -- Sen? -- Ja, sen hon lämnade Naples och satte sig på rum. -- Hur vet du det? -- Du skall försöka att vara lugn, Falk! Det går dig aldrig väl annars! -- Ja, jag måste det snart, annars mister jag förståndet! Tänk den där lilla kvinnan, som jag älskade så, så! Hon bedrog mig så skamligt! Vad hon nekade mig, det gav hon åt den där tjocka hökarn! Och vet du vad hon svarade? Hon sa att det bevisade huru rent hon älskade mig! -- Det var ett fint dialektiskt arbete! Och hon hade rätt, ty översatsen var alldeles riktig: hon älskar dig än? -- Hon förföljer mig åtminstone! -- Och du? -- Jag hatar henne så djupt man kan, men jag fruktar hennes närhet. -- Det är: du älskar henne än! -- Låt oss byta om ämne! -- Du skall vara lugn, Falk! Se på mig! Nu går jag emellertid ut och solar mig; man måste dock njuta av sin tillvaro i dess ändliga existens. Gustav, du kan få gå ner till Tyska brunn och spela knapp, om du vill, på en timme.

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
