Polyp and yet nothing is more simple
One may ask how the narrow radiating tubes of the Acalephs, traversing the gelatinous mass of the body, can be compared to the wide radiating chambers of the Polyp; and yet nothing is more simple than to thicken the partitions in the Polyps so much as to narrow the chambers between them, till they form narrow alleys instead of wide spaces, and then we have the tubes of the Jelly-Fish.
— from The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 10, No. 59, September, 1862 A Magazine of Literature, Art, and Politics by Various

poassible an you naegait ithin my sicht
ken hoo it'll be poassible, an' you naegait 'ithin my sicht or my cry, or the hearin' o' my ears.
— from Sir Gibbie by George MacDonald
