I was delighted to see the word “aquiline” on here as it made me feel very clever as I knew what it meant 😁

However, I should make it clear that the only reason for that is I have just been re-reading snippets from Dracula for my latest article and came across it then before immediately looking it up

Words like these, to me, could possibly belong in a spell book before being brought together in a sentence or tale by the master writer to create a magical mirage of imagery and sound through the sheer nature of their complex construction 👍🏼

Thanks very much for a great article 🙂

Ah, thank you Dan!

And how funny that you'd just been reading a Dracula quote with aquiline in it. The fates are at play, somewhere!

The spell book notion is great.
