...without crushing it?
I have been reliably informed the three dots we call an ellipsis in English are called points de suspension in French.

i like both; the French word is surely more descriptive...though.
what is the origin of 'ellipsis'?
hmmm ... the moment can only be crushed if it is not seized tightly enough ...
Shayna- I was thinking of trying to hold on to the moment, perhaps.
Yes, the same in Spanish: puntos de suspensión. Beautiful image
Susan~ yes - I think that if the moment is grasped tightly then it becomes a saved moment. (perhaps a pot of tea conversation ~.~)
The image is so delicate! I have been so clumsy lately that I wouldn't dare to touch those flowers.
I just hope my fear of crushing things with my anxiety will easy soon...
In Portuguese - Reticências
I much prefer points de suspension...
I'm always irritated that George Lucas botches the whole thing in every intro to the whole Star Wars saga by having four - yes four - dots!
.... ?!?
Tom - Ellipsis is a Greek word meaning to fall short of, or to leave out, according to what I am looking at online. Puts me in mind of Eliot's
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the shadow
Steve- In the U.S., we believe more is better.
