\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Shakespearean Sonnet Machine<\/a> (also here<\/a>) spits out endless variations of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. Well, not quite endless, but there should be 562,448,656 different ones in there if you’re patient enough to keep reloading. <\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

1. I made this on August 16th-August 18th, 2023<\/em>
\n2. This works best with the Luminari font.<\/em>
\n3. Which can probably be downloaded form plenty of places<\/em>
\n4. But I have no idea whats genuine and whats a scam in the world of font websites<\/em>
\n5. Sorry<\/em>.
\n6. I cut and pasted the sonnets from this collection<\/a> at Project Gutenberg. Hopefully I haven’t accidently added any errors.<\/em>
\n7. Occasionally this throws up an irregular sonnet, which is due to Shakespeare himself deciding for some reason to depart from his meticulous form on a couple of occasions – Sonnet 99 has 5 (five!) lines in the first quatrain, and then Sonnet 126 doesn’t even have quatrains at all, and is just 6 rhyming couplets in a row. Stupid bloody Shakespeare.<\/em>
\n8. There’s also probably hundreds of these sorts of things all across the internet but I haven’t actually checked. <\/em>
\n9. I apologise for my likely unoriginality anyway.<\/em><\/p>\n__________<\/br>
