Words from a Teacher's Past, 64



“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #13: (c) surreptitious, (d) martyr

A surreptitious martyr? Can
That even be a thing?
The phrase just doesn’t really have
That clear authentic ring.

Oh, martyrdom should be out front—
A very public act
Or so, at least, it seems to me—
And not the least abstract.
