palimpsest...chosen as the name of my friends' rural property.
An interesting idea, seeing one's land that way...

Yes, Handley, most people know what pastoral means, but I posted the second entry due to its wonderful definition, which was just too good to pass up.
Welcome, MichaelinChina. I am not familiar with the word you posted, so I looked it up;
palimpsest - noun writing material (as a parchment or tablet) used one or more times after earlier writing has been erased
sorry I forgot to include the meaning..yes Tio, knowing my friends they thought long and hard about the name. Certainly different from the usual rural property names in Oz...or anywhere.
I assumed they saw themselves as writing their own text over that which had gone before. I suspect there's an interesting story in that.
Hello, Allard.
There may be a plot bunny there...
Someone who sees her/his significant other as a palimpsest.
Definitely, Carlus...
She comes to him, inked as fully as Lydia, but it's not his story. And she comes again, every night to his parlour and they make love. And each night he inks their love-making onto the palimpsest of her flesh. But her past is always with her. He must write his story onto, into, and around the tales already inked...
OK...I'll store that one away for some free time.
Og, it seems like the same thing happened with canvases for paintings. Several works have been found under existing paintings, which I find so interesting, and also thrifty of the painters.
passim - adv here and there

passeul - noun a solo dance or dance figure
...surrounded by so many who had done all this so many times before, it seemed rote.
I've found that the Roman Catholic Church has a fixation on the appearance of being holy—and, as a consequence, often overlooks what might be truly holy.
You are correct, Og, it is pas seul and I don't know why I saw it otherwise. Thanks so much for posting both of those ballets, I do love the ballet, and you are fortunate to be able to attend such wonderful productions. I do envy you at times.
Yes, Carlus and Handley, after a few years of the same thing, over and over, again and again, with little new breath coming into the church, I became disillusioned and went back to my bohemian ways. Of course, our priest putting his hands in exactly the right places to feel the sides of my breasts during his hugs might have added to the problem.
passe-partout - noun 1. something that passes or enables one to pass everywhere: MASTER KEY 2.a. MAT(5) b. a method of framing in which a picture, a mat, a glass, and a back (as of cardboard) are held together by strips of paper or cloth pasted over the edges 3. a strong paper gummed on one side used esp. for mounting pictures
My grandmother used to use this term and I have not heard it since;
