Order?

There is order in language, and it thrives by means of deep, aesthetic, primary patterns. Anthony Howell has advised that ‘sentences may be considered as objects’, and the visualisations presented here venture to pick a sentence up and turn it to the light so that we might see facets that are otherwise too implicit to notice, or else so far buried as to seem invisible.
