"Life is agid, life is fulgid. Life is what the least of us make most of us feel the least of us make the most of. Life is a burgeoning, a quickening of the dim primordial urge in the murky wastes of time."

I'm not sure about algid, Eta since the rest of the paragraph seems to be heading us towards the positive.

Fulgid is all sparkly. And at the end and we are coming out of the primordial ooze, i.e. the life is burgeoning...


I'm with TEd on this one though. "I know that he knows, that I know that he knows, that I know..." type of writing annoys me and I tend to just put it aside and forget about it.
