[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

[206] pars vigiles ludunt aut per virgulta vagantes scrutantur nidos avium vel roscida laeti mala legunt donum Veneri flexusque sequuntur 15 palmitis et summas pennis librantur in ulmos; defendunt alii lucum Dryadasque procaces spectandi cupidas et rustica numina pellunt silvestresque deos longeque tuentibus antrum flammea lascivis intendunt spicula Faunis: 20 cum subito varius vicina clamor ab urbe et fausti iuvenum plausus mixtaeque choreis auditae per rura lyrae. — from Claudian, volume 2 (of 2)

Et si præterea tamen esse Acherusia templa Ennius æternis exponit versibus edens; Quo neque permanent animæ, neque corpora nostra; Sed quædam simulacra modis pallentia miris; Unde, sibi exortam, semper florentis Homeri Commemorat speciem, lacrumas et fundere salsas Cœpisse, et rerum naturam expandere dictis.” — from History of Roman Literature from its Earliest Period to the Augustan Age. Vol. I by John Colin Dunlop

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?
