LAF-Fabric: a tool to process the ETCBC Hebrew Text Database in Linguistic Annotation Framework. How researchers in theology and linguistics can create workflows to analyse the text of the Hebrew Bible and extract data for visualization. Those workflows can be written in Python, and run conveniently in the IPython Notebook.

I went alone to Bommel just to see
the bridge. I saw the bridge they'd built. Two sides
that seemed to snub each other in the past
look neighbourly again. I drank my tea
and lay about ten minutes in the grass,
my head filled with the vistas long and wide –
when from the middle of that boundlessness
I heard a voice that riveted my mind.
It was a woman. Slowly down the river
her boat approached the bridge, then glided through.
She stood alone on deck, beside the rudder,
and what she sang, it was a psalm, I knew.
Oh, I thought, Oh, if that might be my mother.
Praise God, she sang, His hand will shelter you.
