Abstract:
This thesis finds a means of unique operation through the use of some rarer
vocabulary found in the Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words so that any readers of this
manuscript would in fact find some edification in the reading on not only a technical
level but also an inspirational one--as Bach was known to write many such inspirations,
i.e. etudes, for students of the Clavier, for instance, but which are still considered
aesthetically pleasing in their own right. This collection also contains a handful of classic
forms, i.e. the sonnet, rondel, acrostic, etc., and is made up of contemporary,
individualized rhythms, rhyme, hyper and hypotactic grammatical texturing. Although
elements of confession and autobiography are a necessary part of the endeavor, the work
in its complete form should not found to be too general as to provoke monotony, or
boredom. Philosophy, history, and an otherwise multidisciplinary approach towards the
thematic content must work together to create interest therefore. The writer directly
addresses the audience and asks the reader to question the nature of things and the natural
world, the outer and inner workings of the universe.
