# Damned Fort

A very hasty entry for [NaNoGenMo 2024](https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2024).

This takes [the Gutenberg text of Charles Fort's classic of paranormal 
phenomena _The Book of the Damned_](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/22472) and uses the [compromise nlp library](https://compromise.cool) to pull out nouns and verbs from successive chunks, shuffle them and stick them back together, producing something a bit like modernist poetry:

	are mummies
	animated mere shadows
	tottering I twitching
	have been damned a procession of data
	excluded the highest respectability
	will march the spirit of anarchy
	march they'll are
	are them fiery
	are I have exhumed
	are the pue
	has excluded giants shall have
	are 1 A procession of the damned. will walk
	read clowns are
	mean corpses
	go by like THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED
	captained whims and amiabilities
	are little harlots sound
	will flit rags
