A BUNCH OF ANAGRAMS.
A good anagram was once made from the translation in the Vulgate of Pontius Pilate’s last question to our Saviour, “What is truth”—“Quid est veritas?” The anagram answers, “Est vir qui adest”—“It is the man who is before you.” This example complies with the conditions of a perfect anagram. It employs all the letters—does not depend on pronunciation—and makes the anagramatised sentence an answer to the direct form.
