50's love poetry-- by a computer

Back in 1952 a team of scientists was desperate to test the capabilities of Mark One `Baby`, the computer built at Manchester University.

One of them, Christopher Strachey, devised a quirky software programme by entering hundreds of romantic verbs and nouns into the new machine.

Here are a couple examples of the output; note the recurring sentence templates:

• MOPPET DUCK

YOU ARE MY LOVESICK HEART. MY EROTIC PASSION WANTS YOUR AVID ADORATION. MY ADORATION WISTFULLY IS WEDDED TO YOUR FERVENT PASSION. YOU ARE MY LOVELY ENCHANTMENT. MY FONDNESS AFFECTIONATELY PANTS FOR YOUR CURIOUS ADORATION.
YOURS BEAUTIFULLY

• DUCK HONEY

YOU ARE MY PRECIOUS ARDOUR. MY DESIRE ANXIOUSLY CHERISHES YOUR HUNGER. MY HUNGER CARES FOR YOUR RAPTURE. MY LOVELY FONDNESS CARES FOR YOUR TENDER PASSION. YOU ARE MY SWEET ENTHUSIASM.
YOURS SEDUCTIVELY
