When I learnt what a Vestibule wasENTRY FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST DAY OF THE TENTH MONTH IN THE YEAR I STARTED READING THE DISCWORLD SERIES When I first stumbled upon the word “Vestibule”, I did not know what it meant.
I assumed, by context, it was an architectural term. I was right in this assumption, but that does take away the embarrassment of not being sure up until now. A vestibule is best described, I think, as a lobby or entranceway. I also like the term antechamber; it is more evocative than the other words I used, although, for this case, maybe too much so. Besides ‘vestibule’, I knew all the other words from the book titled Piranesi. |
