Some things you just have to experience for yourself. Say you are walking in the sand at the beach and you fall into a hole, like Alice, in Alice in Wonderland, except you are falling into infinity, where time is bending and space is warped. If you were reading words while you were falling it might look like this hypertext puzzle of the "Book of Sand",
a short story by Jorge Luis Borges. Control the speed of the words moving - by positioning the sand underneath. http://www.chronotext.org/bookOfSand/index.htm I have a copy of Hall's "Contemplations", that is printed with most all of the s's, printed as f's. I've seen this in other books, printed about 300 years ago, also. It's a mystery to me and makes for hard reading, some s's are printed as s's, but most are not. I believe it is a printing problem rather than an actual language use difference from the past. Which brings me to the subject of, "the history of the English language", in case your interested: http://wiz.cath.vt.edu/mosser/helmod/intro.html
We are pointing out poetic devices in today's culture and today, when you turn on the tv news, read the newspaper on your tablet, listen to the radio, surf on your smart phone or computer, you will probably run into a mention of the NCAA basketball game for the national championship. This is the culmination of March Madness. These teams made it through the Sweet Sixteen, to the Elite Eight, and the Final Four.
