'A serious scientific work such as Peter Artedi s Ichthiologia (1738) still listed sirens next to seals and sea lions, and Linnaeus himself, in his Pan Europaeus, classifies sirens -which the Danish anatomist Caspar Bartholin called Homo marinus- together with man and apes.' - Agamben, The Open

My least favourite literary form might be the smirking, pointless one sentence Letterboxd review.
