Explore "Nimrod" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There were brave men, some one has truly said, / Before Atrides (those were mostly dead / Behind him) and ere you could e'er occur / Actaeon lived, Nimrod and Bahram-Gur.
In strength and speed and daring they excelled: / The stag they overtook, the lion felled.
Ah, yes, great hunters flourished before you, / And -- for Munchausen lived -- great talkers too.
There'll be no more; there's much to kill, but -- well, / "You" have left nothing in the world to tell!
