'Eunoia', which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest English word to contain all five vowels. This Book also contains them all, except that each one appears by itself in it own chapter. A unique personality for each vowel soon emerges: A is courtly, E is elegiac, I is lyrical, O is jocular, U is obscene. (from the back cover of Eunoia by Christian Bök)

Thoughts, wrote Nietzsche, are shadows of our feelings: always darker, emptier, and simpler than these. And the written word, it strikes me, is but a shadow of our thoughts.
