Another odd typesetting error, this time from the Bantam Classics pressing of Charlotte Brontë’s Villette.
Nothing more to say here except it’s fun to read Brontë or Jansson in unintentional Burroughsian cut-up mode and it’s weird I’ve come across the opportunity twice in a month.
“What was civilization ever, really, but the attempt by man to talk himself into being good? Only good, mind you. The rest had to be shoved somewhere out of sight, under the rug. Which History indeed did, at times politely, at times police-ly, and yet something was always sticking out, breaking loose, overthrowing.”
Stanisław Lem
