>Nevermore
>Lattice
>Tress
>melancholy

Can't I just say author and others agree with me or insult me instead of random guessing?

but where's the fun in that

because I have absolutely no idea which author yours for example could be...

I thought mine was obvious enough. I want to see if someone gets it.

"he stretched his legs"

Nabokov?

poe?

Yep!

Got something better?
All these words are in the Raven as well so i feel like it is too pleb but these occur so frequently imo.

Fair enough, i am pleb anyway.

Arma, orum
Lumina, orum

I have never read the Raven but I recognized "nevermore." I once read that his use of that word is connected to the idea of "cellar door" being the most euphonious English phrase. If true it's interesting.

And then but so

masticating
eructation
possezzed
