Trifecta: Week Seventy-Two
April 11, 2013
For this week’s Trifecta Challenge the prompt is Alchemy …
- a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life
- a power or process of transforming something common into something special
- an inexplicable or mysterious transmuting
I will use 33 words …
‘Careful words are alchemy as they wash over the truth gilding it to fine prose to delight and energise. Subversively, they encrust it with a gross canker that stifles its living breath’.

Love words washing over truth.
This week in UK a famous ‘stateswoman’ died and the papers have been filled with eulogies about her. And the words used were so carefully framed that it was unclear whether they were talking about the same woman. This post was inspired by that!
33 very well chosen words.
Thank you _/\_ x
