Sublime

Sublime.

Funny word but great meaning.


From wiki: In aesthetics, the sublime (from the Latin sublīmis) is the quality of greatness or vast magnitude, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual or artistic. The term especially refers to a greatness with which nothing else can be compared and which is beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement or imitation.


Wiki's article is the philosophy of sublime. Lots to ponder there. I'm just talking adjective here...
