Can someone manage to get volentine into a poem? Apparently it is an archaic
collective word for birds.
That and clavolet (the club-shaped ends of the antennaes of insects) in the
same poem?
Not forgetting revolera (a movement in which the cape is fluttered above the
matador's head).
Will someone go the vole (run every risk in the hope of great gain; to try
all shifts)?
If the words weren't so obscure, it would have the makings of a MacCaig
parody.
