Not sure Elysian is used in this kind of sentence...context, though.))


((I'm pretty sure you can call a place elysian, and it have to be put insightfully into the sentence or it will look like wacky... know I mmake wacky snetence from tiles to time, but t's mostly because I don't know how to not make them wacky, not that I don't know they are though. XD ))
((Given that Elysian means anything beautiful or perfect, I think PrettySir's sentence was perfect. But more to the point, my understanding is that this thread is for all of us to share our love of words, not to critique others.))
