“The analytic tendency investigates works from the past in order to find
possibilities that often exceed those their authors had anticipated. This,
for example, is the case of the cento, which might be reinvigorated, it seems
to me, by a few considerations taken from Markov’s chain theory” (from
Oulipo; A Primer of Potential Literature, translated and edited
by Warren F. Motte, Jr., p. 27).
