A piece of prose in which each word has the number of letters corresponding to the first 100 numerals representing the value of π. Zero is represented by a ten-letter word


3.14159, 26535, 89793, 23846, 26433, 83279, 50288, 41971, 69399, 37510, 58209, 74944, 59230, 78164, 06286 20899, 86280, 34825, 34211, 70679


Sea, a pier, a beach encrusted in shells, boats and gulls, sweeping panoramas – nothing analogous can, by any standard, beat living by silver seas. Can any thinking man of average alertness truly contradict me? Maritime delights have matchless glamour, a beauty exceeding all. Confirmed urbanites who enthuse about a superstore often disagree. No enchanting waterside habitat will enrapture them. They exist, bewitched by the metropolis, chasing frippery. I prefer this delightful resort to anything buried in industrial detritus. Seascapes, fishermen, breakers, shells in sunlight – wonderment all mine, pleasures to enjoy! Men such as I, a seaside enthusiast, really possess happiness.
