WORD OF THE DAY
Sturm und Drang • \shturm-oont-DRAWNG\ • Noun – 1: a late
18th century German literary movement characterized by works containing rousing
action & high emotionalism that often deal with the individual’s revolt
against society 2: turmoil
Howling winds lashed the tiny, creaking ship with streamers
of icy salt spray…pushing the shuddering sailing craft far north of its
intended safe, snug harbor. Throughout the perilous night, the shivering first
mate…battling the elements and the rudder with all his strength…had only one concern
roiling his inner soul with Sturm und Drang, “did I leave the iron on when I
left port?”
