\nsynonyms, and yet just one
\nsizzles and sings.<\/p>\n
\nwhile the soaring nigh<\/em> evokes —
\nclose but no cigar.<\/p>\n
\nit verbs — something nigh<\/em> can’t do.
\nThis verse now burned out.<\/p>\n
\nis a forte<\/em> synonym.
\nWhat a grand duo —
\none traded for the other —
\npianometier<\/em> music.<\/p>\n
