Vokalia and Conso
ar far away, behind the word mountains, far from the
countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind
texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the
coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean.
A small river named Duden flows by their place and
supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a
paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of
sentences fly into your mouth.
