| | CHAPTER 17: FROM BABEL TO COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY. |
 | | The story of Babel continued indeed throughout the whole eighteenth century to hinder or warp scientific investigation, and a very curious illustration of this fact is seen in the book of Lord Nelme on The Origin and Elements of Language. | | | Its frontispiece depicts the confusion of tongues at Babel, and, as a pendant to this, the pentecostal gift of tongues to the apostles. | | | History, ethnology, and philology now combine inexorably to place the account of the confusion of tongues and the dispersion of races at Babel among the myths; but their work has not been merely destructive: more and more strong are the grounds for belief in an evolution of language. |

| | IDS Online: ids columnist - Gathering among the ruins of Babel - 02/17/97 |
| | It's really true, as I witnessed the polyphony of different voices playfully singing with each other, I recalled the story of the Tower of Babel in the Hebrew book of Genesis. | | | And I welcome him or her to grab a gelato of his or her favorite flavor and join the fun, the adventure, the unity of our gathering among the ruins of Babel. | | | I smiled at the irony: For here in Florence was testimony of healing - the determination to learn another's language and thus double, triple, quadruple, truly ad infinitum each other's understanding. |

| | Amazon.ca: Babel-17/Empire Star: Books |
| | Babel 17, The longer of the two, is a narrative of mayhem, murder, mystery, madness, and metaphor. | | | This recent pairing of Samuel R. Delany's early classics is a wonderful piece of publication, as the two novellas together make yet a third window on the combined story. | | | Though shorter (sort of), Empire Star gets in its LUMPs (Linguistic Ubiquitous Multiplex Computers) as well. |
