"Verge" is employed to evoke the sense of a threshold—a point where something is about to change, whether in emotion, action, or physical space. Authors use it to express the precarious moment before an emotional outburst or transformation, such as a heart fluttering on the verge of dread [1] or a character almost succumbing to anger [2]. Beyond internal states, the word also delineates physical boundaries, marking the edge of a river [3] or the limit of the horizon [4], thereby linking natural landscapes with the human experience of approaching extremes. In literature, the term often hints at imminent crisis or breakthrough, from being on the verge of a breakdown [5] to the brink of madness [6, 7], encapsulating both literal and metaphorical transitions.
