The word "cloy" in literature often conveys a sense of being excessively saturated or overwhelmed, whether emotionally, sensorially, or physically. In Milton’s verse, the soul is burdened by a surplus of woes, suggesting that too much sorrow can overwhelm one's spirit [1]. La Fontaine uses the term in two different contexts: first, to describe overindulgence of appetite in a literal and metaphorical sense [2], and later to note that a text, when consumed in its original form, avoids such over-satiation of the reader's interest [3]. Plutarch warns against self-indulgence by urging one not to cloy oneself with pleasures, while Marcus Aurelius and Webster apply the term to the gradual weariness brought about by continual exposure to spectacle and noise, respectively [4, 5, 6]. Even Rabelais toys with the concept by questioning whether it might be wise to "cloy" all one's ordnance, highlighting the rhetorical versatility of the term [7].
