Words of the day. Also Pynchon-relevant, I'd argue.

Word of the Day: “hiraezh” - feeling of bittersweet longing for a homeland or heartland; a place to which one cannot easily return, but without which one is incomplete (Breton). In Welsh, “hiraeth”; Cornish “hyreth”. Comparable to saudade (Portuguese), Sehnsucht (German).
