Why this word is great
OPUSCULE — [Noun] A small or minor literary or artistic work. From the Latin opusculum, a diminutive of opus ("work"). Unlike an "opus," which stakes a claim to monumentality, or a "tome," which asserts its heft by weight and will, an opuscule is a work that whispers. It is a chapbook of poems stitched by hand, a philosopher's marginalia that outlives his treatise, or a single, perfect etching pulled after the grand series was complete—a quiet testament to the dignity of the minor key and the lasting edifices built from neglected stones.
