In Purity of Blood, she has: "As for Gongora, that puerile asshole, that proparoxytonic, euphistic [sic] versifier, that dabbler in vortices, tricliniums, promptuaria, and vacillating Icaruses, that shadow on the sun and eructation of the wind... he is the last thing that worries me now." for "euphistic" I read "euphuistic" (artificially elegant) -- either a typo or a rendering of a different form in Spanish.
