The power of adjective

1. Wax candle stays with you long after you read the following poem. The next time you read of a candle (flame), you are sure to think of this 'wax candle'.
Virgin and Child in Quentin Masys poem by Jaroslaw.
To get your creative juices flowing, look out for adjectives that can be added into any drab piece of reading to make it  unique and memorable.
Wax candle would strike redundant at first but now since we have the Flameless candle , its a point in time from where man has learnt to seperate the light and warmth from the flame.


2. I recall reading about Archimedes death recently in The Calculus diaries  that he was frought in geometry while the death not knocked on his door but really barged in. This poem To the Germans with the reference to adder nests in the marble of the house, through its plunge in image takes the mind along the process of dislocating the floor reflecting the disorbitation of the guy who could move the earth from a firm spot.
