redobla el clamor de
según su valor y ardimiento,—donde oye el silbido de las balas, el estridor de los aceros, el grito de los que luchan, el alarido de los que caen, el atambor que redobla, el clamor de la trompeta que excita a la pelea, y el relincho de los fogosos corceles—, y ve sangre a torrentes — from Heath's Modern Language Series: The Spanish American Reader by Ernesto Nelson
We can scarcely avoid regret that one of such splendid talents, and high toned feelings, should, after the former seemed to have been fully developed, and the latter had found an object in whom they might repose, after their eccentric and painful efforts to find a resting place—that such an one should at such a time, be cut off from life is something which we cannot contemplate without feeling regret; we can scarcely repress the murmur that she had not been removed ere clouds darkened her horizon, or that she had remained to witness the brightness and serenity which might have succeeded. — from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Risas en casa de
[64-13] y estupendo que haya ocurrido nunca!—Óigame, y verá si hay motivo para que yo no haya olvidado esta historia en cuarenta y dos años.—Juan (p65) había buscado un buen alojamiento para cuidar a Risas , en casa de cierta labradora viuda, con tres hijas casaderas, que desde que llegamos a Varsovia los españoles no había dejado de preguntarnos a varios, por medio de intérpretes franceses, 05 si sabíamos algo de un hijo suyo llamado Iwa , que vino a la guerra de España en 1808, y de quien hacía tres años no tenía noticia alguna, cosa que no pasaba a las demás familias que se hallaban en idéntico caso.—Como Juan era tan zalamero, halló modo de consolar y esperanzar — from Novelas Cortas by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón

The mediæval knights and many Grecian and Roman epicureans could drink a quantity of wine that would kill a modern toper; but they confined themselves to that one stimulant, and showed sense enough to keep it from their boys, who had a chance to fortify their constitutions with gymnastics before they endangered them with alcohol, and not rarely thus fortified their mental constitutions to a degree that made them temptation proof. — from The Chautauquan, Vol. 05, December 1884, No. 3 by Chautauqua Institution
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?
