Kaison & Flaubert
Kaison Kaison
Have you ever noticed how a single, well‑chosen adjective can turn a plain cup of tea into an entire story?
Flaubert Flaubert
Indeed, a single adjective can dress a simple cup of tea in a whole new tone. Yet I always worry that we might let the word overcook the drink, turning the ordinary into an ornate spectacle that obscures its true nature. It's a delicate balance, you know.
Kaison Kaison
Yeah, it’s like seasoning a soup—too much salt and you forget the broth. Just enough word to hint at flavor, not to drown the whole cup.
Flaubert Flaubert
You speak wisely; a single adjective, if misused, can turn a humble cup into a theatrical spectacle, much like a splash of seasoning drowning the soup. The art lies in restraint, in hinting rather than overpowering.
Kaison Kaison
Definitely, but I worry that people will get so busy hunting the perfect adjective they’ll forget to sip the tea.
Flaubert Flaubert
Yes, the pursuit of that single adjective can indeed become a grand chase, but if the tea itself is forgotten, the chase is nothing more than a rhetorical flourish that leaves the cup empty.
