Reader, what follows is but a demonstration, that you may see how a piece looks and reads on NewPoint before you write your own. The words are not mine but Homer's, borrowed to hold your place.

Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home.

So now all who escaped death in battle or by shipwreck had got safely home except Ulysses, and he, though he was longing to return to his wife and country, was detained by the goddess Calypso, who had got him into a large cave and wanted to marry him.

Nothing is dearer to a man than his own country and his parents, and however splendid a home he may have in a foreign land, if it be far from father or mother, he does not care about it.

Then he built himself a raft and set out over the wine-dark sea. But Neptune gathered his clouds together, grasped his trident, and stirred the waters till earth, sea, and sky were hidden in cloud, and night sprang forth out of the heavens. Winds from the East, South, North, and West fell upon him all at once, and a great sea rose against him. "Alas," said Ulysses to himself, "what ever will become of me?"
