1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences of that book (and these instructions) on your own LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

Some popular prints deposited at the Imprimerie Nationale between 1804 and 1814 were directly inspired by primitive works, with Gothic diableries. One print shows a landscape with distorted furrows and rocks and boulders in the shapes of human and animal heads (fig. 86). Restored to normality, the composition reveals a witch. The vigorous and incisive character of the drawing, the disturbed surface of the fields and hills full of hidden people, as well as the arrangement of the grotesque figures in the foreground, are very close to the art of the first half of the sixteenth century.
