In a Perfect Rapture

Algumas pessoas me perguntaram o significado da palavra "Rapture" que escolhi como uma das mihas favoritas no questionário do Bernard Pivot (o post tá lá embaixo).

Vejam bem:

rap·ture

1.The state of being transported by a lofty emotion; ecstasy.
2.An expression of ecstatic feeling. Often used in the plural.
3.The transporting of a person from one place to another, especially to heaven.
tr.v. rap·tured, rap·tur·ing, rap·tures

(American Heritage Dictionary)

rapture

1. a state of being carried away by overwhelming emotion; "listening to sweet music in a perfect rapture"- Charles Dickens (syn: ecstasy, transport, exaltation, raptus)
2: a state of elated bliss
