Palimpsest


Bucolic is listed on Dr Goodword's alphaDictionary as one of the most beautiful words in English. I typed it on google images and as I strayed, like I usually allow myself to when leisurely searching, I was led to words that reflect concepts appealing to me:



1. eclogue
2. denouement

3. cynosure
4. pianoforte

5. palimpsest
6. onomatopoeia

7. riparian
8. inglenook

9. petrichor
10. lilt

11. arcadian
12. vintage

13. Jenny what else but my idol Jane Austen's nickname :-)


Share your Thursday Thirteen list with Megan and Janet.

    Ah, I do love a good vocab word. I think denouement is among my favorites. Lascivious is another good one.

    Palimpsest is new to me. I like the concept, the way the old holds out in face of the new.

    I have always disliked the word Bucolic and thought it doesn't sound like what it means.

    I just now got lost in the world of Palimpsest. That was fun.
