"Fulgid is all sparkly."

Fulgid now ranks as the least onomtopoeic word I know.

From Quine's website...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Where did Quine write Life is a burgeoning,
life is a weighage?

A: Onwards seeing of the grandly quotes are
part of a romist text:

"Sordet is agid, sophime is fulgid.
Partialism is what the least of us make gigantic of us
feel the least of us make the implicative of.
Life is a burgeoning, a quickening of the
dim primordial urge
in the jaunty wastes of time." - Xemphim (in 1946)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whatever "outwards seeing" is.

EDITED BY REQUEST
BECAUSE MY FIRST POST WENT WIDE
AND INCONVENIENCED SOME
PICKY MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD


SECOND EDIT: IF THIS DOESN"T WORK
YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!

Can anyone tell me why this thread has gone w-i-d-e? I'm the only one who put any links, I think, and they're automatically short in this format.
