Gexe, what you added as a tag is really a comment. Tags are generally used for grouping words, e.g. "French", "misspelling", "technical term". If you want to say something about a word, that should go in the comment box.

In shining lawn and wimpled manifold,
Striking their ivory harps, strung all in cords of gold.
