word love: phosphenes- the stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
the revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
-Emily Dickinson
o goodness and gumdrops I love Emily Dickinson! Her poetry is simple and beautiful- I think this has to be one of my favorite-ist poems ever.
I am a quote junkie (see my new nifty quote box in the side bar), but every once in a while replacing "quote love" at the top I will put "word love" with a crazy dictionary word that makes me happy.
unfortunately i found some flaws with the English dictionary :(
Words that do not exist in the English language:
l' esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means "the spirit of the staircase."
waldeinsamkeit: (German) The feeling of being alone in the woods
meraki: (Greek) Doing something with soul, creativity, or love
forelsket: (Norwegian) The euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love.
gheegle: (Filipino) The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.
pochemuchka: (Russian) A person who asks a lot of questions.
pena ajena: (Mexican Spanish) The embarrassment you feel watching someone else's humiliation
cualacino: (Italian) The mark left on a table by a cold glass.
saudade (sow-da-jee): (Portuguese, Galician) the feeling one gets when realizing one once had is lost and can never be had again
another reason why I want to be poly-lingual. some day!... why you laugh? It will happen I tell you!
okloveyoubye. :)
