WORDS TO THE WISE - 6

"TOO MANY COOL WORDS TO CHOOSE" EDITION

PHRONTISTERY
noun
an establishment for study and learning

BARATHRUM
noun
an abyss, a bottomless pit or hell; an insatiable person

GROWLERY
noun
a retreat for times of ill humour

HAECCEITY
noun
the aspect of existence on which individuality depends; the hereness and nowness of reality; that sense one gets of being in the present tense; the pure experience of a single moment in time

LUCUBRATION
noun
study or composition lasting late into the night; laborious study or meditation, writing produced by laborious effort or study especially at night


Those who know me will understand immediately the draw of each and every one of these words.  Being one who is given to times of lucubration in a phrontistery of her own making and hoping to reach haecceity as it seems a better way to live ones life I still find myself poised over a barathrum in my growlery where I have chosen to hide away from the world.
