The Great G minor Fantasia
knits an acoustic cobweb...
- Peter Reading, Night-Piece, from For the Municipality's Elderly, 1974
I love this definition because it's true - it's actually sort of "hypertrue". All cobwebs are so delicate and transparent as to resemble the webs of spiders...
Nice word too.
Maybe WeirdNet's thinking here is that spider-webs form a subset of 'things that resemble spider-webs', and it's putting the more general definition at the top...
