Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.<br/>Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.<br/>Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.<br/>Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.<br/>Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.<br/>Elves are terrific. They beget terror.<br/>The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.<br/>No one ever said elves are nice.<br/>Elves are bad.
