yeah, that too, Galadriel.
If there was one word in English that is a combination of "curse" and "oath", I would choose that word.

Haha. Say, the English language never really had single words as oxymorons, did it?

It's not exactly an oxymoron. For example, in Russian, there in a general word that could mean curse, bless, and swear (as in oath). All these words coe fro the same root. I never heard such a word in English, so I guess there isn't any. Or maybe I'm such a dunce I just don't know English properly.

Would have to agree with Galadriel on the word Nostalgia, that would be the one word I would choose to describe it.
