Comment from rama devi

Excellent

Love this word! Wow. Excellent short poem (brevity must be the tangent of this word...?)

Great flow and rhyming...especially embolden and golden. Imaginative! Fine alliteration of W as well.


Witty one.

Warmly, rd

Thanks for the lovely review, RD. The book doesn't really give a lot of background, other than saying it was in use in 17th century. I am sure brevity and breviloquence come from the same Latin source - brevis, which means short, but which came first, I don't know.

Much appreciation,
Craig

Excellent

Craig, This is a very good post you have penned with a new word again. I enjoy reading and learning the new words, but so sad I forget them as soon as I read them! Great job my friend! Blessings, Teri
