voc ed

To a person for whom each word in a sentence sets off several sequential slow-motion explosions, reverberating chains of meaning, the sentence is lively and rich, vastly informative and entertaining.

To a person for whom each word in a sentence provokes only one, maybe two thought-images, reverberations, or none at all, the same sentence is flat, devoid of meaning.

I continue to go to voc ed, vocabulary edification.
