‘Adjectives’: the Novel; the Movie
Basil Bunting: ‘Adjectives drain
nouns’
Defending more than
defensive. Ill-equipped, formal,
luxurious.
Defending.
Generous, invasive,
status-conscious. Anxious, generous.
Shallow, acquisitive, kitted
out, entertaining.
Ill-tended, ill-fed, worn:
stale tending to foul.
Grimly, well-organised,
obvious. Drunk.
Questing, Attentive.
Reserved. Contained
