carfour_n and_o intercept_v the_o view_n among_o the_o piece_n of_o modern_a architecture_n i_o have_v never_o observe_v above_o two_o which_o be_v remarkable_a in_o this_o vast_a city_n the_o

so_o affect_v and_o mysterious_a that_o they_o give_v it_o the_o name_n of_o cant_v a_o term_n by_o which_o they_o do_v usual_o express_v the_o gibberish_n of_o beggar_n and_o vagabond_n after_o
