For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have no net connection much of the time.) To look at page I send mail to a daemon which runs wget and mails the page back to me. It is very efficient use of my time, but it is slow in real time.

Si quaeris miracula, Mors, error, calamitas, daemon, lepra fugiunt, Aegri surgunt sani. Cedunt mare, vincula: Membra resque, perditas Petunt et accipiunt Iuvenes et cani. Pereunt pericula, Cessat et necessitas: Narrent hi, qui sentiunt, Dicant Paduani.
— If, then, thou seekest miracles,
Death, error, all calamities,
The leprosy and demons flee,
The sick, by him made whole, arise.
The sea withdraws and fetters break,
And withered limbs he doth restore,
While treasures lost are found again,
When young or old his help implore.
All dangers vanish from our path,
Our direst needs do quickly flee:
Let those who know repeat the theme:
Let Paduans praise St. Anthony.
— Sequence attributed to Julian of Speyer, composed c. 1235 (The Raccolta, 531. New York: Benziger Brothers. 1952.)
