Candled Lucubration's ~*Marge Tindal*~ Mid-of-thought in nocturnal pause dreamy word-visions … just because~ Candled phrases of pure poetic amaze descend in flurry to waiting page~ Then upon lucid light of day inking heart … here on display~ Word of the Day for Monday April 26, 2004 www.dictionary.com lucubration \loo-kyoo-BRAY-shun,loo-kuh-\, noun 1. The act of studying by candlelight, nocturnal study, meditation. 2. That which is composed by night, that which is produced by meditation in retirement, hence (loosely) any literary composition. Lucubration comes from Latin lucubratus, past participle of lucubrare, "to work by night,composed at night (as by candlelight)," ultimately connected with lux, "light." Hence it is related to lucent, "shining, bright," and lucid, "clear." The verb form is lucubrate. ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left. - Sufi epigram <))>< noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, your poetry is so enlightening. I always love to read it, even if I don't always know the words to reply. In each poem of yours that I read, you teach me something.... either about poetry, or about life. Thank you. Hugs Ethel |
