For this occasion I selected the last “number” of my cantata composed in Vienna, “ Die Befreiung Deutschlands ” (The emancipation of Germany), with its solo-quartet, and the concluding fugue: “ Lasset uns den Dankgesang erheben ” (Let us raise the song of thanks), a four-voice choral piece which was alternately sung, with the congregation, and the Halleluja from Händel’s Messiah. — from Louis Spohr's Autobiography
Translated from the German by Louis Spohr
for light upon double doors
There was no outlook except from the roof-top, where [ 67 ] the washing dried: there were no windows, the rooms depending for light upon double doors opening on to the tiny tiled patio—except in our own case, where the second room allotted to us was built over the top of the street, and had two windows cut in the walls by the Spanish occupants, neither of which quite shut, and provided us with an ample supply of air. — from In the Tail of the Peacock by Isabel Savory
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?
