Webster's Daily: Found Poetry

I found (well, had it pointed out to me) a new blog. It's called Webster's Daily, and its owner describes it as "Found poetry from the first edition of Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language (1828)." He promises us a "new definition every day."

An example? Sure:
Blink of ice, is the dazzling whiteness about the horizon, occasioned by the reflection of light from fields of ice at sea.
Or this one:
Hope, n.

A sloping plain between ridges of mountains. [Not in use.]
