egypturnashPangrammatic haiku.
Pangram? A sentence - or haiku, in the case of these - that contains all the letters of the alphabet. The most well-known is probably "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", but I find its 35 characters to be far less evocative and euphonious than the 29 characters of "judge my vow, sphinx of black quartz". All the "perfect" 26-letter pangrams are utterly incomprehensible.
