First Paragraph of David Copperfield
I AM BORN
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.
The uninspired correspondent scratches his scalp, but dandruff and lice, not words, fall onto the blotter.
