Thank you, Stuart. As Woolf herself said in the only surviving recording of her voice, "words, English words, are full of echoes, memories, and associations" (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcbY04JrMaU&t=93s__;!!KGKeukY!39RMK8xpDmFDUDmL9g0gfc8fHqPP1VIegfWvi7fXcSk8jUzrkvVhOdlU9bLN_wlSfvDUXPzX8xQkkrUJDdSJ4zoNAjlsdQ$" id="LPlnk801096" class="OWAAutoLink">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcbY04JrMaU&t=93s</a> ).
I suppose that now, with global English, they are constantly fertilized with new meanings, but some of the old metaphors continue to intrigue us and require a type of attention and curiosity that is unfortunately in decline. The life of words is longer than
the human horizon, and we are born into it (if I may wax Lacanian, or perhaps even old-fashioned Saussurian), but even that life is neither eternal nor uneventful, as meanings get so easily eclipsed. </div>

However, I do think it will be as hard to think of "gig lamps" without "luminous halos" and "semi-transparent envelopes" from now on as it is to say "incarnadine" without "multitudinous seas" (although, to go off on another tangent, Woolf does use "incarnadine"
so beautifully in <i>Three Guineas</i>).</div>

<div>However, try looking up fly. There is a verb, “to travel by fly”, which may lead you to the correct definition (I can’t get that far – I thought a fly was short for something: see brake below).</div>

<div>And if you want to know what a brake was, you first have to know that it’s short for a shooting-brake.</div>
