In this video, I get very excited over historical words and Romantic Era literature, big passions of mine! There are so many beautiful words used historically that we don't use anymore, but I really think they could add something wonderful to contemporary vernacular.

Would you like to see more videos about historical poetry and the Romantics in the future?
