ran across an unfamiliar word yesterday in the catalogue from a Museum of Modern Art exhibit on American landscape painting. The was connate, used by Ralph Waldo Emerson in the sentence, In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets and villages. So I looked it up in my American Heritage dictionary, and found this meaning: 3. Being in close accord or sympathy; congenial: In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets and villages (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Sometimes, the dictionary seems to be exactly on my wavelength.
