Word of the Day: BLASTFUL

ETYMOLOGY
from blast (a blowing or strong gust of wind) + -ful

EXAMPLE
“…Breezy hills and blastful mountains,
Chirp of birds, and thunder’s roll.
Tinkling rills and gushing fountains.
Powers that spurn weak man’s control.
Cradle song and chariot’s rattle.
Mighty thoughts that stir the soul,
Throng of business, roar of battle,
All make music In the whole.
…”

From: Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine,
July – December 1883
‘October Song’
