adj.



I am reading a book called “The Lover’s Dictionary” by David Levithan. It is a small novel about love the narrative is structured into the form of a dictionary. It is interesting. I’m not quite sure if it pulls it off, but it is interesting.

This is one of the entries that I just read:

ineffable, adj
These words will ultimately end up being the barest of reflections, devoid of the sensations words cannot convey. Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough.


Good stuff.
