Damned Fort

A very hasty entry for NaNoGenMo 2024.

This takes the Gutenberg text of Charles Fort's classic of paranormal phenomena The Book of the Damned and uses the compromise nlp library 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
