>>25290952It's not obscure, but it is pointless and highly replaceable.
>>25291036it means lush and green. how can a word be pointless?
>>25291133Lush has a good sound to it, and its negative connotations have been erased with time, so why not say that instead?(The reason is the your own perception of inherent of pomp stemming from using a latin word, viridis)
>>25291166Verdant is a good word. What is your problem?
>>25291174None really, it's just indicative of a certain something in the writer's mindset, that being a speck of pretense. Typically they mean well.
>>25291189>>25291189>indicative of a certain something in the writer's mindset, that being a speck of pretense.I want to argue but now I'm worrying if I'm a little pretentious, so I can't.
>>25291036The term you are looking for is "literary", the dictionary will use this term for words that are almost exclusively used in books rather than in spoken conversation. It is one rung down from "poetic"

>>25291133>how can a word be pointless?By being a loanword with no unique meaning or valence used solely to signal the authors opinion of himself. I'm not sure if verdant is quite all *that* bad but "zhe ne seh kwah" is the archetypical example.
>>25290777Her verdant mons beckoned, inspired devotion. Her bare shaved lower lips broke the monochrome junction of her tan skin. I stood, intending to go to her but held in place by the vertiginous swaying of the alcohol I'd too quickly and too long consumed. You write like a fag, I accidentally uttered aloud. Did you start writing yesterday, she replied, closing her legs and rising upon her elbows. I sat, saying, 'lush, how shall we play the word tonight?' She thought me decently clever, laid back down and opened her legs.I eyed the whiskey bottle on the table. Which was more pointless? The red of her open vagina or the blue of the bottle's label? which would intoxicate me more? "zhew ne seh kwah" i thought, grabbing the bottle and draining in into her engrossed vagina, grabbing her hips and drinking deeply and long.

They took turns lubricating it with their mouths, rubbing their faces with it like painters rubbing out the civility of their canvases. Erasure after erasure, they became a nameless continuum of woman. I sniffed a line off whomever and stuck my cock in whomever. I was in love for the first time. God now knows my name and I His.

>>25292851English has nothing original. Not even culturally>king Arthur French>celtic mythicCeltics>beowulfDanishThis is the only place on the planet this empty.The language is the same. I hate this language. I hate being english
>>25292870> shakespeare> Milton> Melville (Anglo Americans were English in their essence)> Austen> Both elliots > Tolkein Wtf are you talking about? The ethnogenesis of the Anglo Saxon concluded within the last thousand years and in that time we surpassed Rome by a thousandfold.
>>25292884I'm talking foundations. Those don't really count.
>>25292914> Shakespeare isn't foundational but french cuck porn (arthur) is
>>25292920Yeah? One is way older than the other. Shakespeare is my favorite writer. It's not a statement of quality to say he's not a foundational thing like king Arthur or Norse myth
>>25292870So, because french, celts and danes lack a sufficient historical record to show the origins of 'their' myths, they become original? I don't really buy that reasoning. Additionally, you're implying that the English had some kind of abiogensis that means they don't inherit anything from their celtic or anglosaxon ancestory. Which, of course would imply that there is nothing original to any contemporary culture. As each extant culture replaced its past at some point.
>>25292925Shakespeare had infinitely more impact on literature than the 12th century arthur stuff. How are you measuring foundationalism, just age? Caedmon's hymn wins then.
>>25292939I dunno. It doesn't feel ours at all.>>25292941Thats not really the same. Being English just makes me feel a distinct lack of culture and a lack of origin. Thats it really. You can't argue with logic. We aren't really celtic or germanics. And English as a language has grown too big and stateless.
>>25292947>Being English just makes me feel a distinct lack of culture and a lack of originImmerse yourself in your/our history and songs for a year, go out in the countryside, and that will change. You've just internalized too much globohomo. English is bloated but that in itself is a marvel: It's become an empire in itself with sufficient richness to describe, with little loss of detail, both the specifications for a microprocessor and the sublime emotions in Tolstoy's work. Listen to what Borges had to say:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJYoqCDKoT4
>>25292956That doesn't change anything though. Your sentiment and my sentiment are addressing totally different things
>>25290777>a certain je ne sais quoi
>>25290794>>25290860>>25290963>>25292212I use these.
>>25291166Lush isn’t directly synonymous with verdant, that’s why. Verdant contains a connotation of constant consistent fertility which lush does not. Lushness can be temporary.Verdant is also more suitable for a larger area.For example you could say; verdant rolling hills containing lush pastures. This would mean the hills are green, small and continuous, and generally fertile and green. The pasture would have longer, thicker grass upon it than the baseline of pastures.
>>25292956>Listen to what Borges had to say:Is it really the case that you can't say these things in Spanish? That seems like a awfully limiting language if that's true
>>25293315Spanish native here and yes its a very workman like language underneath all the latinate that fools anglos. Its an exceptionally blue collar underdeveloped language. Not only are there Borges' comments but 100 years author Marquez also said that the English translation was better. I've been forced to accept that for whatever reason we just haven't produced like the French or the italians or the germans. We have Cervantes

Of the dozen or so /lit/ threads I have pinned, this is the only active one recieving consistent replies.This board is fucking dead.
>>25291166lush isn't fit to describe foliage it's far too overused it works with other things im not advocating for verdant but it's better than lush even though they dont mean the exact same thing
>>25293345i read 100 years years and years ago and i dont remember it except that kid eating dirt but i remember it being a good tranny
>>25293345That's quite sad. You're just going to have to force the language to evolve I guess
>>25293557Id rather abandon it. The language is actively devolving in actuality and most of its native speakers are retards. The only thing keeping the memory of Spanish literature alive are foreigners to be honest.
