What would a literary classic look like if you were to take all of the words out of it? Kinda beautiful, actually. Quote, comma, comma, exclamation point, end quote!  

An example of an excerpt of Moby Dick

That's the premise behind Between the Words, a project by web developer and data artist Nicholas Rougeux. He reduced literary works to the punctuation used, in the order they appeared and in one continuous line, to create a visual representation of the work.
