13. enwriter upon the rear where now are peering
14. eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
15. three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
16. of poets, by poets--as the name is a poet's, too,
17. its letters, although naturally lying
18. like the knight pinto-mendez ferdinando-
19. still form a synonym for truth-cease trying!
20. you will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.
knowing that the latin root scintilla means spark, what is the meaning of the word scintillating in line 14?
brilliant
dispirited
tedious
listless
