This sonnet is generated by randomly selecting words from the vocabulary of Doestoevsky's Notes from the Underground, with certain particle words removed. The chances of a word appearing here should be the same as the chances of the word appearing in Doestoevsky's (translated) original, with the exception of the removed words, the most notable of which is the pronoun "I." Several other related or unrelated words, such as "am" and "the," were also removed to increase the density of the result. The random call is generated 8 times per line, as this seems to roughly correspond to the probabilities of single or multi syllabic words, thus resulting in an average syllable count of 10-- perfect iambic pentameter.
