Quote
Another class of affection and injuries of the nerves which are very troublesome, is when the nerve has not been cut off itself, but happens to get tied down in a cicatrix.

Most Manhattan oldsters who try to main tain the pace after middle years have the unhealthy shine of a cicatrix.

Pother

Quote
The pother, in final analysis, is to no avail, because the matter is not one chronic worries to decide.

Cries of a chair crisis and parking pother are badly overblown, said Heather Groll, an Office of General services spokeswoman.

Every sudorific hitherto employed had failed to produce this result upon a skin which horrible diseases had left impervious.

Its sudorific effects, when once begun, should be maintained by copious dilution with tepid fluids.

Mostly, though, they'll celebrate the man they variously describe as "a nurturing teacher," "fantastic," "welcoming," and "a mensch."

He is a mensch and it shines through whether or not he goes to temple. He is not defined by being Jewish, he simply is Jewish.

It seemed to him that it was much more economical to dispose of it as they did, though the arrangement was besot with some little difficulty, and it was only reasonable that they should try and save £15000 out of the fire.

Corbitant's village was besot, and some of his people were wounded. Squanto, the interpreter, who was supposed to have been killed, had, it turned out, suffered no harm.

A simple way of representing this hierarchy is a pyramid. Each contour is numen from the point of view of the contour below, and gaudens in comparison with that above.

It is numen, a god- or witch-like power that asserts itself in the contrast between dark and light, night and day, sickness and health, power and powerlessness, vivisectionist and corpse on the operating table.

Also, tallywhacker? Are you from the mountains?

No, I'm coastal. I just have a multi-purpose tool.



That's an odd tool to have... Or unique rather?

Most of us have dual purpose tools, such as this:

Well, I'll let you go ahead and use a leather-man for a tallywhacker. I know I'm not too keen.

Unfortunately, 'organosomy' doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Otherwise I'd be encouraging it (well, for females, anyway).

Thank you Bruno.

Aphotic

Quote
The aphotic zone receives no light at all, and this region's inhabitants live in complete darkness…with the exception of the lights they emit from their own bodies.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/29/books/review/29BISSELL.html
Quote
This urge does not necessarily result in novels with nameless characters, mutating typography or unpunctuated attempts to explore the aphotic realm of human consciousness.
