Literary notes about effervescent (AI summary)
The word "effervescent" in literature is often used to evoke a sense of vivid liveliness, whether describing a sparkling personality or a bubbling physical phenomenon. It may characterize a character's buoyant humor and unbridled energy, as when someone is "effervescent with little bubbles of joy" or brimming with youthful optimism [1, 2]. At times, it lends a tangible, sensory quality to environments or substances, bringing to mind images of effervescent water or even bubbling beverages [3, 4]. Moreover, its versatile application can simultaneously suggest both refined cheer and the unruly, exuberant spirit found in both human interaction and the natural world [5, 6, 7].
