perspicuity

jerbear
I wish I could explain this, but there's just.. something I'm missing. Something that, if I had it, would allow me to more easily explain this to people, regardless of the difficulty of understanding the concept itself. Some skill, some quality describing either myself or the ease with which I explained things to others.

If only I knew what that was called, so I could look it up, come to understand it, and hone it within myself, until I had so much.. so much SOMETHING that I could effectively explain what it means to have perspicuity.

But alas. I don't have enough of that word, that concept that would allow as much

Afflicting us with greater or less frequency. That, however, is not the sense in which the word is used in the phrase "occasional verses," which are verses written for an "occasion," such as an anniversary, a celebration or other event. True, they afflict us a little worse than other sorts of verse, but their name has no reference to irregular recurrence.

trustycoffeemug
attila (b. probably circa 406 AD) was a king of the huns and also ruled over a number of tribes in central asia and eastern europe between 434 and 453. he spent a lot of his time in office beating up the roman empire, which heaved a giant collective sigh of relief when he finally passed away on his wedding night. after that the huge kingdom he built basically dissolved into infighting.

sort of a western prototype for genghis khan.

according to a german opera-writer he is also the brother of brunnhilde, valkyrie and apparent queen of iceland, though he doesn't do much in the story besides marry Kriemheld (who wants revenge for the death of her husband siegfried, who was killed because he had a love triangle going with brunnhilde because he'd helped his friend woo her and yadda yadda yadda, there's a magic treasure involved or something)
