comparing different degrees of culture
that even in comparing different degrees of culture, the freedom of the conscious interpretation of the one is not in any way inferior to the freedom in dreams of the other! — from The Dawn of Day by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Of these the exterior one is the epidermis , or scarf-skin: under this is the rete mucosum , or mucous tissue, which gives its colour to the skin; next follows the papillary tissue formed by the extremities of the nerves, and in which the sense of touch principally resides; the last and innermost layer is the skin proper , or leather, called Dermis , Derma , or Corium — from An Introduction to Entomology: Vol. 3

This tab, called Hiding in Plain Sight,
shows you passages from notable books where your word is accidentally (or perhaps deliberately?)
spelled out by the first letters of consecutive words.
Why would you care to know such a thing? It's not entirely clear to us, either, but
it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
