Parallax : a very unfortunate condition experienced only by Zen Buddhists, where the state of relaxation becomes so profound that it causes total paralysis. (If the person is in the lotus position when this happens, it complicates thing even further.)

Capriccio
A spirited trot, seen among the White Stallions of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna when they have been fed coffee beans mixed in with their oats.
Also referred to as, "a piaffe beyond the poles."*


* For those of us not up on their haute ecole terminology.. i.e. those of us who did not obsess over "White Stallions of Lippiza" as a child, horses were traditionally trained to piaffe while tied between two poles.


unequivocal
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"
