a style of writing and speaking that is poetic, although written in prose; that â??waxes lyricalâ?? and is tremendously enthusiastic about the subject it describes, e.g. The divaâ??s performance of Sophia brought The Orphans of Qumbu to life; it was beyond magical, it was sublime, divine in every way. Belinda dâ??Alende was transformed into a goddess on the stage!
