I don't blame them for that. I still miss the DING! that the little bell would make when the carriage was five characters from the end of the line, as if Mr Remington and Mr Rand were cheering my creation of yet another line of glorious prose.

But the mill
Chatters in mechanical staccato
Ugly short infantry of the mind
Advancing over difficult terrain
Making this Corona
Their mitrailleuse.
