I really need to start reading more Shakespearean poetry; I've read a lot of his plays but not so many poems, i'm ashamed to admit, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading Venus and Adonis. At the end of it, you might even say I felt something akin to repine.
When simply pining just won't do the trick...
I'm loving this blog - very cool idea :)
The first definition has been me a lot lately.
it's like.."Mai Yang who repine for her school" hehe ^_^ nice one ^_^
Based on the yearning definition of this word, what's the difference between "repine" and "pine?"And how you know that about Florida crab claws is beyond me! Haha. :)
ahahaha @A Beer for the Shower
I like this one because it's simpler and easy to remember. Hurrah for.. me!
Dead? That parrot's not dead! He's just repining . . . repining for the fjords. (Hmmm, just not the same ring to it).
now I have a new word to saw when I complain about stuff! lol.
I guess I can say I repine for London. Or maybe for a decent cup of coffee.
the 2nd example of repine made me think of the opening scene from Godfather II. Poor Vito.
I’ve heard the phrase ‘to pine’ which on first glance seems to have an identical definition. Did we condense the word or something?
Also it should be noted Shakespeare just flat out made a lot of words up, the sneaky git. XD
Great blog. really good information here.
nice post, keep it up
I am getting smarter by reading your blog!
great word.
Similar to pine? Haven't heard of it, actually... good one!
Seems to have a decent range of use.
