— from A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels — Volume 13 by Robert Kerr

the air behind us limits itself
Even we, when walking, divide the air without being pushed by the reaction of the air; the air behind us limits itself to filling the void we have created.
— from Plotinos: Complete Works, v. 2 In Chronological Order, Grouped in Four Periods by Plotinus


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?
