i am a fist amidst the hands; i break it just because i can

I don't normally do this stuff, but the results of this one were too amusing not to share.

Here is a meme from the lovely & talented melvillean:

Grab the nearest book.

* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result:

"Thus natural experiences are given meaning and purpose in the timeless scheme of creation."

--Enlarging the Temple: New Directions in American Poetry During the 1960s by Charles Alteri

"How," I hear you asking, "how are natural experiences given meaning and purpose in the timeless scheme of creation???" Well, I'm not telling. You'll have to just read either this guy's book or my forthcoming dissertation.
