— Elizabeth Bishop, ‘Edgar Allen Poe and the Juke-box’
Since I was already on the subject of Baltimore, poetry.
Two very great words from this poem: crepuscular & macadam. Especially macadam, because I’m a fan of words that are much more romantic than what they signify.
I suppose nacreous also deserves a nod, though that’s sort of an example of the opposite phenomenon (i.e. words that I assume have something to with death, but actually mean ‘irridescent’).
