Wayfare
I saw you, wayfaring on the white carpet, talking in the most humble and mature way.
Is it correct to use wayfare here? and by "white carpet", I mean land covered with snow.
Please, also let me know of any grammatical errors present in the sentence.
Top answer
The sentence is grammatical, but, unless the context in which it appears supports it, the usage is strikingly awkward. Wayfare is not used like this. " Casually calling snow-covered ground a "white carpet" is overly melodramatic.
