Thanks Doug.
Simply deciding to write an acrostic sonnet started the generating engine. I did have to
tinker somewhat with the initial draft, and of course I let it sit around for more than 2
months before deciding to finish it off.

Unexpected circumstance (Anarchist Library at Conspire in Phoenix, Arizona) reminding
me of Palo Alto, California in 1968. I was given brief quotations from 19 different
sources, and a time limit. What procedural engine could I set up which was guaranteed
to generate a text?
