inventionhouse commented on the list transcendentalism
To me, it's impressive that Thoreau was able to use all these words so elegantly. I'm fascinated by the word virtue. I can't imagine ever using words like supernumerary or somnolence, but they are nice challenges for figuring out words based on prefix and suffix.
