Littl  can b  writt n without an “ ”
That sur  foundation of s nt nc s and lin s
Th  most us ful vow l you  v r did s

A loss of this  xc ll nt l tt r would m an
Most consonants would fall into a trap
If th  b autiful “ ” w r  l ft uns  n

This little  xp rim nt will h lp us s  :
Littl  can b  writt n without an “ ”
(The title is a play on Keats’ concept of negative capability – or p rhaps I should say, a play on K ats’ conc pt of n gativ capability.)
