Greetings, linguistically inclined friends!
It’s time for Wordy Wednesday!
My thoughts have been running much toward
Christmas
lately, so I thought I’d share a word
I noticed in a carol on the Casting Crowns CD
{which is all that I’ve been listening to this week}
Our word for today is:
sublime
: lofty, grand, or exalted :
: of outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth :
: high in place, lofty, or supreme :
as in
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
‘Till, ringing, singing, on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
{from I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow}
What interesting words have you come across
as Christmas draws near?
