word of the day
What's an atelier?
(at'l yā' ; (French) a tə lyā')
A studio or workshop, especially one that's used by an artist.
Suddenly there arose from the depths of the chapel … a sound which drew his attention from the altar - the sound of a strange, lugubrious chant, uttered by women's voices. It began softly, but grew louder [becoming] more of a wail and a dirge.
From Kate Chopin's The Awakening
