More Vocabulary
I was reading The French Lieutenant's Woman and came across this bit and thought of our earlier discussion:
Her figure required a word from Ronsard's vocabulary, rondelet--all that is seductive in plumpness without losing all that is nice in slimness.
I wouldn't mind being considered rondelet.

ooh that is a lovely word.
I haven't read/seen FLW but still reminds of visiting the Cob at Lymme last summer and driving everyone else mad by trying to find the spot where Louisa Musgrove fell.
I prefer rondelet to rubenesque! I love language. I picked the name for my blog (Callipygian) because it described my situation to a 'T'.
callipygian
