Quandary Resolution 895
optative, vulnerary, zaftig, masticate
The grammarian said to his mistress, “Dear, may your sentences be as zaftig as your figure, as plump and pleasant to nibble; may you not force-feed me terse, tough imperatives, that are impossible to masticate, but express your wishes in gentler optatives, that do not leave me searching for a verbal vulnerary.”
