Un-

Recently learned the concept of compound adjectives watching History Boys. Very useful in conveying loneliness. We all know about loneliness.

"Unkissed. Unrejoicing. Unconfessed. Unembraced."

"It's a turn of phrase that brings with it a sense of not sharing, of being out of it...The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met. Maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out and taken yours."

'Nuff said.
