Palindromes

Post by Piotzintli »

I´m very interested in forms named 'palindromes' (palindromas in spanish). A palindrome is a word or phrase wich reads the same forward as it does backward.

I have found some palindromes in Spanish wich I would like to compart with you. They seems very complet.

ISA A MI ME MIMA ASÍ
ANITA VE UNA NUEVA TINA
ASÍ LA CITÓ RENÉ. IBA BIEN ERÓTICA LISA

Also here are some sentences in English

Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Eva, can I see bees in a cave?
Do geese see God?

Do you know more palindromes of interest in English?

There is an origami gallery page I know of that introduces each model with a palindromic aside.

Do good? I? No! Evil anon I deliver. I maim nine more hero-men in Saginaw, sanitary sword a-tuck, Carol, I-Lo! Rack, cut a drowsy rat in Aswan. I gas nine more hero-men in Miami. Reviled, I (Nona) live on. I do, O god!
