Intoxicating. Stephen Fry notes in a sketch from 'A bit of Fry and Laurie' his opinions on language. I hold the same passions, though would never quite so elequently express it, not for lack of trying mind you.
I feel sharing the above morsel validates my opinion to greater degree; and my opinion is that you've sold a portion of the treasure of language to allow for purchasing of your own acre of sacred space. Serenity. A brilliant garden in a small corner of paradise.
Honestly, this is just gorgeous.
