This was done quite\nentertainingly with Vance sentences on the Vance BBS list. Here's an\ninitial contribution (from NIGHTSIDE THE LONG SUN, p. 323):\n\"The shade had risen until no sliver of gold remained, and a dulcet\nbreeze whispered soothingly that the dust and heat of vanquished day\nhad been but empty lies.\" Pure Wolfean poetry.\n//--------------------------------------\nNicholas Gevers\npotto at webmail.co.za"
