Hypertext
In computing, a hypertext system is one for displaying information that contains references (called hyperlinks) to other information on the system, and for easily publishing, updating and searching for the information. The most well-known hypertext system is the World Wide Web.Probably the first description of the idea came in 1945, when Vannevar Bush wrote an article in The Atlantic Monthly called "As We May Think," about a futuristic device he called a "Memex". He described the device as electronically linked to a library and able to display books and films from the library, and further able to automatically follow references from these to the work referenced.
Computer scientist Ted Nelson coined the word "hypertext" in 1965. Nelson's work and many other early hypertext systems such as Douglas Engelbart's "NLS" and the popular HyperCard application bundled with the Apple Macintosh computer were quickly overshadowed by the success of Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web, even though the latter lacked many features of those earlier systems such as typed links, transclusion and source tracking.
The leader of that martial crew
So steadily he speeds,
Like warrior when the fight is night,
As though all heaven.html">Heaven's refulgent hoard
One moment--and to earth.html">earth.html">earth he falls:
Voice heard by him alone.
For to the rest both words and form
While Saul, in wakeful trance,
His persecuted Lord revealed,
As gently on his spirit fall,
Were prisoner yet in this dark earth,
Nor His great power begun.
"Ah! wherefore persecut'st thou Me?"
His strained eyes from the sight:
Still gazing, though untaught to bear
So shall Sin ask of heaven and earth
"When did we see.html">see Thee suffering nigh,
Great God of judgment, say!"
Ah! little dream our listless eyes
While, in our noon of life,
Christ is at hand, to scorn or bless,
And our dear Lord in bliss reposed,
To every.html">every ear in every land
He speaks as he did then.
"Ah! wherefore persecute ye Me?
With your own endless woe.
I feel each wound ye reckless give
Not willing ye should be bereft
The meanest offering ye can make -
In Heaven, be sure, is stored."
O by those gentle tones and dear,
Thou only hope of souls,
But in the thought of Jesus find
Thy lightning glance did then impart
So teach us on Thy shrine to lay
Intenser blaze and higher.
And as each mild and winning note
When the full strain is o'er)
Music, that taught, as death drew near,
Still may the echo of that sound
"Christians! behold your happy state:
Make much of your dear Lord!"
