I'm reading Anne of Green Gables, and it's taking me a little longer than with some books. That doesn't mean I don't like it.
On the contrary, with a line like this, "After the Mayflowers came the violets, and Violet Vale was empurpled with them," how could one not adore the book?
I'm in love with purple, as is evidenced by the strong profusion of it all over Write Well U and Write Well Me. I love giving out my business cards because one side is completely empurpled. Life is good when there's purple in it.
(Empurpled now joins the ranks of other colors as verbs: yellow, gray, green, blue, redden. Note that some colors won't ever make a good verb: orange, teal, aubergine, scarlet.)
