fragments from a late 18th century graphics API (wax-sealed epistles recovered from the wreck of a clipper):
"the Work shall be enumerated thus:"
"this frame the Work shall be a matter of Indices"
"i am most eager for you to begin the Work"
"as for the matter of the vertices, haste is of the utmost - spare only 16 Royal Bits for each"
"i remain your most faithful and humble servant"
@jplebreton "the Work shall make reference to illuminations numbered 1 through 12"
"the Work proceeds with great haste, but the illuminations contained therein are only 10 in number. The outcome of the Work is therefore unknowable."
