There it was, word for word,
The poem that took the place of a mountain.

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)
The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain [1952], st. I

Words like winter snowflakes.

Homer (c. 700 B.C.)
The Iliad, bk. III, l. 222
Without another word spoken on either side, the lodger took from his great trunk, a kind of temple, shining as of polished silver, and placed it carefully on the table.
Words are like prodigies. They may want to stay inside where it is safe and warm but they'll never live if they never play outside...and find themselves lost in the cold.
Words beginning with the »sn« sound in English are often unpleasant: snide, snob, snigger, sneer, snicker, snub, snert, snotty, snippy, snit, snarl, snore, sneak, snag. »Snow« is a word over which there is debate and even an annual change of heart. The first snowfall is almost always welcomed. Christmas snow is considered magical. But too much of a good thing for too long and March blizzards push »snow« into line with the rest of the »sn« words.
What I feel for you,
I can't put in words,
language won't hold
my desire.
The word on my mind right now is >>weekend<<. It's only a few hours away!
I can't wait to get away from this office!!
There is a purity in words that cannot be sullied by their use.
Which is more useful to you: a dictionary that tells you how to use a word or a dictionary that tells you how a word is used?

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

Horace (65-8 B.C.)
Epistles, bk. I, epistle xviii, l. 71
A word after a word after a word is power.
