Enchanting Much, Is the Order of Words

English insanely makes sense. No matter how you rephrase a sentence, there’s always meaning.

• Desire is the pendulum never content.
• The pendulum that desire is, is never content.
• Never content is desire, the pendulum.
• Never content desire — is the pendulum.
• Never content — desire is the pendulum.
• The pendulum of desire is never content.
• Never content — the pendulum of desire.
• Pendulum — desire, never content.
• Never content pendulum is desire.

I read in Zinsser’s On Writing Well about rephrasing words for a better effect, and being ever so curious, I tried it. I cooked up a random sentence and rephrased it in many ways, and it still made sense.

Ho English!
