[2] otro mosaico—en los dos primeros puestos, pero no sin que influyera también en la distribución el negro, presente aquí y allá, [3] sobre todo en las Antillas; dándose el caso de [4] la congregación de tres razas bien determinadas y nada comunes entre sí, con el resultado natural de inmensas diferencias según domine el español como en Chile, el negro como en Haití, o el indio como en Méjico. — from Heath's Modern Language Series: The Spanish American Reader by Ernesto Nelson
Cecilia eh returned Nicholas
‘Cecilia, eh?’ returned Nicholas, muttering the two names together over and over again in every variety of tone, to try the effect. — from Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
Quodsi vituperandi, qui reticuerunt, quid de iis existimandum est, qui orationis vanitatem adhibuerunt? C. Canius, eques Romanus, nec infacetus et satis litteratus, cum se Syracusas otiandi, ut ipse dicere solebat, non negotiandi causa contulisset, dictitabat — from De Officiis by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Celtic examples recall non
[259] The Celtic examples recall non-Celtic ones: the raven was sacred among the ancient Scandinavians and Germans, being looked upon as the emblem of Odin; in ancient Egypt and Rome commonly, and to a less extent in ancient Greece, gods often declared their will through birds or even took the form of birds; in Christian scriptures the Spirit of God or the Holy Ghost descended upon Jesus at his baptism in the semblance of a dove; and it is almost a world-wide custom to symbolize the human soul under the form of a bird or butterfly. — from The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries by W. Y. (Walter Yeeling) Evans-Wentz
can ever reconcile Nietzsche
These two conflicting halves in the character of the Christ of the Gospels, which no sound psychology can ever reconcile, Nietzsche always kept distinct in his own mind; he could not credit the same man with sentiments sometimes so noble and at other times so vulgar, and in presenting us with this new portrait of the Saviour, purged of all impurities, Nietzsche rendered military honours to a foe, which far exceed in worth all that His most ardent disciples have ever claimed for Him. — from Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

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?
