An Anon mentioned this in a previous thread
>Written in an "imaginary language", a kind of hybrid between Old English and Modern English,[2][3] it tells of "Buccmaster of Holland",[3] an Anglo-Saxon freeman forced to come to terms with the effects of the Norman Invasion of 1066, during which his wife and sons were killed.

The dream of a ridiculous man - dostoevsky

His writing sucks you in, I am inclined to believe his story is true, a must read for the depressed and to those seeking meaning in life

The Garden of Cyrus - Thomas Browne
>That Vulcan gave arrows unto Apollo and Diana the fourth day after their Nativities, according to Gentile Theology,[2] may passe for no blinde apprehension of the Creation of the Sunne and Moon, in the work of the fourth day; When the diffused light contracted into Orbes, and shooting rayes, of those Luminaries. Plainer Descriptions there are from Pagan pens, of the creatures of the fourth day; While the divine Philosopher3 unhappily omitteth the noblest part of the third; And Ovid (whom many conceive to have borrowed his description from Moses) coldly deserting the remarkable account of the text, in three words,4 describeth this work of the third day; the vegetable creation, and first ornamentall Scene of nature; the primitive food of animals, and first story of Physick, in Dietetical conservation.
