But as to the question of which verb would be better suited, I would suggest that steeped makes more sense as something being doused or bathed in history, and thereby giving it greater importance/significance, rather than seep which has the moving element of the water, and which would take a different preposition if you wanted to try it--seeped from history, as something which oozed from the distillation. Might be a neat way to try it, but you'd have to make sure your listened/reader got the emphasis on the shifted verb from the context.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284076278305267300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2804757366135244776.post-36384518812548807902012-01-25T05:04:03.986-05:002012-01-25T05:04:03.986-05:00If you were to use the phrase, 'steeped in his...If you were to use the phrase, 'steeped in history'- would you use steeped or seeped?JenEdwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938444014863683275noreply@blogger.com
