So Virgil began, "It seems to me that this place we find ourselves reminds me of when..." And he told the following story: #######Virgil's Story About Scheherazade There was once a twisted garden that lived in eternal twilight. Scheherazade was lost, like so many before and after, and she had come to that place, as we all eventually must. Scheherazade chose an exit at random and walked that way. Scheherazade entered a Churrigueresque cryptoporticus, watched over by xoanon. Scheherazade discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else, humming a little to relieve the silence. Scheherazade entered a rough spicery, , within which was found a gilt-framed mirror. Scheherazade opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, humming a little to relieve the silence. Scheherazade entered a cramped and narrow fogou, watched over by a monolith. Scheherazade felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Which was where Scheherazade reached the end of the labyrinth. --- "So you see how that story was very like this place," Virgil said, ending the story. Virgil decided to travel onwards. Virgil chose an exit at random and walked that way. Virgil entered a shadowy liwan, tastefully offset by a quatrefoil inscribed in the ground framed by a pattern of carved runes. Virgil discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else, humming a little to relieve the silence. Virgil entered a twilit hall of mirrors, containing divans lining the perimeter. Virgil opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, humming a little to relieve the silence. Virgil entered a high fogou, containing a fallen column. Virgil felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Which was where Virgil reached the end of the labyrinth. --- "And that was how it happened," Asterion said, ending his story. --- "So you see how that story was very like this place," Little Nemo said, ending the story. Little Nemo decided to travel onwards. Little Nemo thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way, humming a little to relieve the silence. Quite unexpectedly Little Nemo found the exit. --- "And that was how it happened," Dunyazad said, ending her story. --- "And that was how it happened," Murasaki Shikibu said, ending her story. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 717th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Scheherazade There was once a twilight dimention in space that lived in eternal twilight. Scheherazade must have spoken the unutterable word, because she had arrived in that place. Scheherazade walked away from that place. Scheherazade entered a ominous 사랑방, dominated by a false door framed by a pattern of wooden carvings. Scheherazade opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, humming a little to relieve the silence.

And she told the following story: ###Scheherazade's Story About Scheherazade There was once a twisted garden that lived in eternal twilight. Scheherazade was lost, like so many before and after, and she had come to that place, as we all eventually must. Scheherazade chose an exit at random and walked that way.

"And that was how it happened," Scheherazade said, ending her story. --- "And that was how it happened," Murasaki Shikibu said, ending her story. --- "So you see how that story was very like this place," Shahryar said, ending the story.

Shahryar entered a marble-floored tepidarium, tastefully offset by an exedra which was lined with a repeated pattern of complex interlacing. Shahryar thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way. Shahryar entered a high picture gallery, watched over by a glass-framed mirror. Shahryar felt sure that this must be the way out. Shahryar entered a rococo cavaedium, dominated by a gilt-framed mirror with a design of chevrons. Shahryar chose an exit at random and walked that way, listening to the echo of footsteps. Shahryar entered a high fogou, containing a fallen column. Shahryar discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else. Almost unable to believe it, Shahryar found the exit. --- "And that was how it happened," Marco Polo said, ending his story. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 732nd story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Dante Alighieri There was once a recursive house of many doors that lived in eternal twilight. Dante Alighieri wasn't quite sure where this was, only that he had come to that place, as we all eventually must. Dante Alighieri muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened. Dante Alighieri entered a ominous 사랑방, watched over by a fallen column. Dante Alighieri chose an exit at random and walked that way.

Which was where Dante Alighieri reached the end of the labyrinth. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 733rd story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Scheherazade told a very symbolic story. Thus Scheherazade ended her 734th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..."

So Dante Alighieri began, "It seems to me that this place we find ourselves reminds me of when..." And he told the following story: ######Dante Alighieri's recursive Story Once upon a time, there was a lady of the Imperial Court named Murasaki Shikibu, a poet exiled from Florence named Dante Alighieri and a child trying to go to Slumberland named Little Nemo. Dante Alighieri suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Dante Alighieri told a very touching story. Thus Dante Alighieri ended his 1st story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Dante Alighieri told: #######Dante Alighieri's important Story Once upon a time, there was a member of royalty named Asterion, a philosopher named Socrates and a queen of Persia named Scheherazade. Socrates suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Socrates told a very convoluted story. "And that was how it happened," Socrates said, ending his story. --- Thus Dante Alighieri ended his 2nd story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Dante Alighieri told: #######Dante Alighieri's Story About Virgil There was once a twisted garden that lived in eternal twilight. Virgil couldn't quite say how he was wandering there. Virgil walked away from that place. Virgil entered a art deco cryptoporticus, tastefully offset by a trompe-l'oeil fresco with a design of blue stones. Virgil opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, humming a little to relieve the silence. Virgil entered a wide and low liwan, dominated by a standing stone inlayed with gold and framed by a pattern of egg-and-dart. Virgil felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Virgil entered a marble tepidarium, containing a sipapu. Virgil muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened. Virgil entered a brick-walled sudatorium, watched over by an obelisk. Virgil chose an exit at random and walked that way.

Virgil opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, humming a little to relieve the silence. Virgil entered a Churrigueresque cryptoporticus, watched over by xoanon. And that was where the encounter between a poet of Rome named Virgil and the sister of Scheherazade named Dunyazad took place. Dunyazad offered advice to Virgil in the form of a story. So Dunyazad began, "It seems to me that this place we find ourselves reminds me of when..." And she told the following story: ########Dunyazad's Story About Virgil There was once a recursive house of many doors that some call the unknown. Virgil didn't know why he happened to be there. Virgil wandered, lost in thought. Virgil entered a luxurious peristyle, decorated with many solomonic columns which was lined with a repeated pattern of arabseque. Virgil walked away from that place.

So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Scheherazade There was once a recursive house of many doors that some call the unknown. Scheherazade couldn't quite say how she was wandering there. Scheherazade felt sure that this must be the way out.

And Scheherazade told a very exciting story. "So you see how that story was very like this place," Scheherazade said, ending the story. Scheherazade decided to travel onwards. Scheherazade felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Scheherazade entered a brick-walled cavaedium, watched over by a labyrinth pattern inscribed on the floor. Scheherazade muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened.

Dunyazad entered a rococo cyzicene hall, containing a moasic. Dunyazad chose an exit at random and walked that way. Dunyazad entered a primitive tetrasoon, that had a wood-framed mirror. And that was where the encounter between the sister of Scheherazade named Dunyazad and a queen of Persia named Scheherazade took place. Dunyazad offered advice to Scheherazade in the form of a story. So Dunyazad began, "It seems to me that this place we find ourselves reminds me of when..." And she told the following story: #####Dunyazad's inspiring Story Once upon a time, there was the sister of Scheherazade named Dunyazad, a member of royalty named Asterion and an English poet named Geoffery Chaucer. Asterion suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Asterion told a very touching story. "And that was how it happened," Asterion said, ending his story. --- "So you see how that story was very like this place," Dunyazad said, ending the story. Dunyazad decided to travel onwards. Dunyazad discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else. Dunyazad entered a ominous 사랑방, dominated by a labyrinth pattern inscribed on the floor with a design of wooden carvings. Dunyazad opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead. Almost unable to believe it, Dunyazad found the exit. --- "And that was how it happened," Homer said, ending his story. --- "And that was how it happened," Scheherazade said, ending her story. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 798th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Marco Polo There was once a cybertextual data structure just on the other side of the garden wall. Marco Polo had followed a secret path, and so he had arrived in that place. Marco Polo walked away from that place. Marco Polo entered a Churrigueresque cyzicene hall, , within which was found a fountain. Marco Polo opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead. Marco Polo entered a art deco atelier, containing a gilt-framed mirror. Marco Polo felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors, sparing a passing glance at a mirror.

Marco Polo entered a wide and low liwan, dominated by a standing stone inlayed with gold and framed by a pattern of egg-and-dart. Marco Polo chose an exit at random and walked that way. Marco Polo entered a brick-walled atelier, containing a curved staircase. Marco Polo discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else. Marco Polo entered a brick-walled atelier, containing a curved staircase. Marco Polo wandered, lost in thought, sparing a passing glance at a mirror.

Marco Polo opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead. Marco Polo entered a ominous atrium, tastefully offset by an abat-son with a design of wooden carvings.

Marco Polo entered a ominous peristyle, that had a large fresco of a garden with two paths dividing. Marco Polo felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors, sparing a passing glance at a mirror. Quite unexpectedly Marco Polo reached the end of the labyrinth. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 799th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Socrates There was once an engmatic labyrinth that had never known the light of the sun. Socrates couldn't quite say how he was wandering there. Socrates felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors, sparing a passing glance at a mirror. Socrates entered a looming library, that had many solomonic columns. Socrates muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened. Socrates entered a twilit almonry, watched over by a large fresco of a garden with two paths dividing.

"So you see how that story was very like this place," Socrates said, ending the story. Socrates decided to travel onwards. Socrates muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened. Which was where Socrates discovered the way out. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 800th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Scheherazade told a very touching story. Thus Scheherazade ended her 801st story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's amusing Story Once upon a time, there was an explorer of Venice named Marco Polo, a child trying to go to Slumberland named Little Nemo and an English poet named Geoffery Chaucer. Little Nemo suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Little Nemo told a very intertwined story. "And that was how it happened," Little Nemo said, ending his story. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 802nd story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Socrates There was once a vast and perilous maze just on the other side of the garden wall. Socrates must have gotten lost, because he was wandering there. Socrates walked away from that place. Socrates entered a wide and low cavaedium, watched over by a curved staircase.

Geoffery Chaucer opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead. Geoffery Chaucer entered a luxurious cryptoporticus, containing an alcove. And that was where the encounter between an English poet named Geoffery Chaucer and a child trying to go to Slumberland named Little Nemo took place.

And Geoffery Chaucer told a very exciting story. "So you see how that story was very like this place," Geoffery Chaucer said, ending the story. Geoffery Chaucer decided to travel onwards. Geoffery Chaucer muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened.

So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..."

Marco Polo didn't know why he happened to be there. Marco Polo felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors, sparing a passing glance at a mirror. Marco Polo entered a high picture gallery, watched over by a glass-framed mirror. Marco Polo muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened. Marco Polo entered a ominous 사랑방, watched over by a fallen column. Marco Polo thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way. Marco Polo entered a Churrigueresque cryptoporticus, watched over by xoanon. Marco Polo felt sure that this must be the way out, sparing a passing glance at a mirror. Marco Polo entered a cramped and narrow cryptoporticus, containing a sipapu.

Socrates couldn't quite say how he was wandering there. Socrates wandered, lost in thought. Socrates entered a rococo triclinium, , within which was found a pair of komaninu. Socrates walked away from that place, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Socrates entered a wide and low portico, watched over by an abat-son. Socrates opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, passing a reflection in a mirror. Socrates entered a wide and low kiva, that had a false door. Socrates felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Socrates entered a archaic still room, containing a beautiful fresco. Socrates felt sure that this must be the way out. Socrates entered a high terrace, watched over by a trompe-l'oeil fresco. Socrates chose an exit at random and walked that way, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Socrates entered a marble hall of mirrors, accented by a false door framed by a pattern of palmettes. Socrates discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else, passing a reflection in a mirror.

So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Scheherazade told a very convoluted story. Thus Scheherazade ended her 824th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's recursive Story Once upon a time, there was an English poet named Geoffery Chaucer, a blind librarian named Jorge Luis Borges and a Khagan of the Ikh Mongol Uls named Kublai Khan. Jorge Luis Borges suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." And Jorge Luis Borges told a very exciting story. "And that was how it happened," Jorge Luis Borges said, ending his story. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 825th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Homer There was once a cybertextual data structure that was a map of itself. Homer must have gotten lost, because he was wandering there. Homer muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Homer entered a brick-walled atelier, containing a curved staircase. Homer thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way, passing a reflection in a mirror. Homer entered a twilit fogou, decorated with a koi pond which was lined with a repeated pattern of imbrication. Homer felt sure that this must be the way out. Homer entered a cramped and narrow terrace, tastefully offset by a beautiful fresco framed by a pattern of three hares. Homer felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Homer entered a Baroque twilit solar, tastefully offset by a gargoyle which was lined with a repeated pattern of buta motifs. Homer muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Homer entered a wide and low portico, watched over by an abat-son. Homer thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way, passing a reflection in a mirror. Homer entered a high triclinium, accented by a pair of komaninu with a design of a dizzying spiral pattern.

This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Dunyazad There was once a vast and perilous maze, the place that can sometimes be glimpsed through mirrors. Dunyazad couldn't quite say how she was wandering there. Dunyazad wandered, lost in thought. Dunyazad entered a high arborium, decorated with xoanon with a design of a dizzying spiral pattern.

Dunyazad opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, passing a reflection in a mirror. Dunyazad entered a wide and low liwan, dominated by a standing stone inlayed with gold and framed by a pattern of egg-and-dart. Dunyazad felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Dunyazad entered a cramped and narrow terrace, tastefully offset by a beautiful fresco framed by a pattern of three hares. Dunyazad muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Dunyazad entered a art deco atelier, containing a gilt-framed mirror. Dunyazad chose an exit at random and walked that way, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Dunyazad entered a marble tepidarium, containing a sipapu. Dunyazad discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else, passing a reflection in a mirror. Dunyazad entered a high picture gallery, watched over by a glass-framed mirror. Dunyazad wandered, lost in thought. Dunyazad entered a rococo hall of doors, that had a moasic.

Dunyazad muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Dunyazad entered a shadowy cyzicene hall, , within which was found many solomonic columns. Dunyazad thought that this direction looked promising, and went that way, passing a reflection in a mirror. Dunyazad entered a high terrace, watched over by a trompe-l'oeil fresco. Dunyazad discovered that one of the doors lead somewhere else, passing a reflection in a mirror. Dunyazad entered a ominous atrium, tastefully offset by an abat-son with a design of wooden carvings. Dunyazad wandered, lost in thought. Dunyazad entered a Churrigueresque hedge maze, that had a false door. Dunyazad walked away from that place, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. Dunyazad entered a brick-walled kiva, watched over by a monolith. Dunyazad opened a door, not feeling quite sure where it lead, passing a reflection in a mirror. Dunyazad entered a luxurious portico, tastefully offset by a parquet floor which was lined with a repeated pattern of arabseque. Dunyazad felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Dunyazad entered a primitive peristyle, decorated with a trompe-l'oeil fresco with a design of red gems. Dunyazad muttered, "North, this way is probably north!" as the door opened, not knowing that it was indeed the wrong way. And there Dunyazad discovered the way out. --- Thus Scheherazade ended her 830th story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's Story About Geoffery Chaucer There was once an engmatic labyrinth, the place that can sometimes be glimpsed through mirrors. Geoffery Chaucer was almost certain about why he happened to be there. Geoffery Chaucer wandered, lost in thought.

Thus Scheherazade ended her 832nd story, saying, "But there is another tale which is more marvelous still." So she began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Scheherazade told: ##Scheherazade's important Story Once upon a time, there was the sister of Scheherazade named Dunyazad, a blind librarian named Jorge Luis Borges and a child trying to go to Slumberland named Little Nemo. Jorge Luis Borges suggested that he should tell a story, because it was Alex's birthday. So he began, "It is related, O august king, that..." This is the story that Jorge Luis Borges told: ###Jorge Luis Borges's Story About Dunyazad There was once a cybertextual data structure, the place that can sometimes be glimpsed through mirrors. Dunyazad had followed a secret path, and so she had arrived in that place. Dunyazad felt a bit dizzy at the confusion of doors. Dunyazad entered a primitive colonnade, , within which was found a quatrefoil carved into the wall.
