gluttonism


- noun
- glotonaría, · glotonería

EN Under our present enormous accumulation of books, I do affirm, that a miserable distraction of choice (which is the germ of such a madness) must be very generally incident to the times; that the symptoms of it are in fact very prevalent; and that one of the chief symptoms is an enormous 'gluttonism' for books, and for adding language to language; and in this way it is that literature becomes much more a source of torment than of pleasure.
GL Baixo a nosa actual enorme acumulación de libros, afirmo que unha triste distracción na elección (que é o xerme de tal tolemia) ten que ser un incidente moi xeral nestes tempos; que os síntomas del son, de feito, moi prevalentes; e que un dos principais síntomas é unha enorme "glotonería" polos libros, e por engadir lingua a lingua; e deste xeito é como a literatura se volve unha fonte de tormento moito máis que de pracer.
