Hours of fun can be had with the Ulysses concordance (thank you, Mimi Smartypants for linking to it).
I kinda can’t stop playing around with it. I mean, obviously it is an awesome tool for scholars … but I just like surfing thru it, randomly.
Obsession? (I thought I would start off with an appropriate word, seeing as the concordance itself is the most obsessive – and beautiful – thing I have ever seen) 2 occurrences:
foot (on our shore he never set it) only his cloacal obsession. He gazed (from Aeolus)
disintegration of obsession, acquisition of correct Italian (from Ithaca)
Crimson 9 occurrences.
Bastard 8 occurrences
Pillow 10 occurrences
Nonsense 4 occurrences
Bathroom (of course – had to go there) 1 occurrence
Shakespeare 38 occurrences
I find this strangely relaxing.
rhododendrons 7 occurrences
Whoever created this deserves a big fat kiss. And also a quizzical look, like: “Why?” Both would be acceptable. But I would give the kiss first.
Kiss 46 occurrences
It makes me tremendously sad that Mimi Smartypants does not have comments on her blog because it thwarts my ability to tell her how much I love her ohmigod she is hysterical.
(Or maybe it’s for the best.)
I know – that’s probably all I would ever say in a comment on her site: YOU ARE SO FUNNY! HAHAHAHAHA
which I imagine would get tiresome.
But fuggedaboutit, she’s hysterical.
Her image today of Nora randomly freaking out merely because it’s night? hahahaha
I did ‘jaunty’. Shows up four tasty times.
Jingle jaunty jingle.
Jiggedy jingle jaunty jaunty.
Call name. Touch water. Jingle jaunty. Too late. She longed to go.
What fun
Steve – ha!! I was thinking you’d like that.
