"word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds
give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently

These graphic ilustrations of text, based
on the frequency of recurring words, visually demonstrate significant

and create your own by selecting a passage or speech from Cyrano

variations and font styles affected your insight?
