The Essential E

Abstract

About the letter E I am enthusiastic, enchanted, ecstatic, exhilarated, ecstatic, exuberant, ebullient, and effervescent. Ah, those wonderful words that begin with E: In their early lives, enthusiastic meant "possessed by a god," enchanted "singing a magic song," ecstatic "in a trance, exhilarated "made thoroughly cheerful," exhuberant, and ebullient and effervescent, "overflowing, boiling over, spouting out." E is truly a godlike letter that magically entrances, cheers our spirits, and bubbles over.
