@Setanta,
'clumsy' is an excuse that teachers who don't know how to explain the language often resort to.
Quote:Here, it doesn't work. For example: Out of years of elucubration, comes divinely inspired.--oh yeah? Divinely inspired what?
It's not such a mental hardship to see all manner of ellipsis in this,
"... comes
the divinely inspired
If poets, songwriters, writers and other manner of artist had to explain carefully their every use of language, there'd be no positions for university professors.
elucubration, that was a new one on me.
