Apotheosis: much much better than quintessential, or epitome.

Agricultural: "the wet agricultural blips of Iceland's Mum".

Wet: all 'blips' should be wet.

Shit, bounce back - I typed my e-mail address incorrectly.

Obv. apotheosis /= quintessential but it's still better than it.

'-ra' NOT '-er' - bettra, etc.
