can a nonce word have inflections?!
A nonce word can even have babies, tsuwm.
That will give me a chance to post a baby anoncement.
BTW I'm enjoying this expedition into the past. I hope that won't bring it to an end.
In spite of my "sleeping doggerel" joke [which was only a joke], I don't have anything against the past because I haven't been around for most of it.
Truth is, I'm looking forward to the past. Let's have more of it. :)
Who was it who said "The past is prologue"? Around here, the past is dialogue.
Inscribed above the National Archives in Washington, DC, are the words: "What is past is prologue,"* and George Washington is alleged to have said, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
"This section of St. Bede's Scriptorium seeks to provide a corrective to the "neophilia" (love of the new for its own sake, or the assumption that what is newer is automatically or necessarily better than what is older or more traditional) which is so prevalent in the waning years of the 20th century, by helping to provide some of that needed perspective. It deals with ancient, Celtic, Norse and Germanic, and medieval studies, scholarly and otherwise, and will eventually include original essays as well."
