Word of the Day

empyrean  

In my experience, the excitement generated by a truly fresh and original piece of writing is the rocket fuel that lifts Grub Street's rackety skylab -- with its grizzled crew of editors, publishers, agents, booksellers, publicists -- into orbit in the empyrean. -- Robert McCrum, "Young blood", The Observer, August 26, 2001

sanctum  

Seymour has spent most of her research time in that sanctum of the professional biographer, the London Library. -- John Mullan, "The agony and the ecstasy", The Guardian, December 23, 2000
