Neither would be a fitting word because y'u can't put ap'str'phes wh'ever you g'ddamn p'lease.
Sensuous is flexible as it is; removing a vowel doesn't even do anything. If you can find a precedent with a real poet using sens'ous I'll ride through town naked on a horse and post pics.

Where the fuck is Karamzin? And Radischev? And Goncharov? This list is a sick joke, pidorasy ebanye.

The Boeotians were led by Peneleos and Leïtus, and Arcesilaus and Prothoënor and Clonius; these were they who dwelt in Hyria and rocky Aulis and Schoenus and Scolus and Eteonus with its many ridges, Thespeia, Graea, and spacious Mycalessus; and who dwelt around Harma and Eilesium and Erythrae; and who held Eleon and Hyle and Peteon, Ocalea and Medeon, the well-built citadel, Copae, Eutresis, and Thisbe, the haunt of doves; and who dwelt in Coroneia and grassy Haliartus, and who held Plataea and dwelt in Glisas; and they who held lower Thebes, the well-built citadel, and holy Onchestus, the bright grove of Poseidon; and they who held Arne, rich in vines, and Mideia and sacred Nisa and Anthedon on the seashore. Of these there came fifty ships, and on each went one hundred and twenty young men of the Boeotians.
And they who dwelt in Aspledon and Orchomenus of the Minyae were led by Ascalaphus and Ialmenus, sons of Ares, whom, in the house of Actor, son of Azeus, Astyoche, the respected maiden, bore to mighty Ares, when she had gone up to her room; for he lay with her in secret. And with these were ranged thirty hollow ships.
And the Phocians were led by Schedius and Epistrophus, sons of great-hearted Iphitus, son of Naubolus; these were they who held Cyparissus and rocky Pytho, and sacred Crisa and Daulis and Panopeus; and who dwelt about Anemoreia and Hyampolis; and who lived beside the noble river Cephisus, and who held Lilaea by the springs of Cephisus. With these followed forty black ships. And their leaders were busily stationing the ranks of the Phocians, and were making them ready for battle close to the Boeotians on the left.
And of the Locrians the swift son of Oïleus was leader, Aias the lesser, in no way as great as Telamonian Aias, but lesser by far. Short he was, with corselet of linen, but with the spear he surpassed Panhellenes and Achaeans. These were they who dwelt in Cynus and Opoeis and Calliarus and Bessa and Scarphe and lovely Augeiae and Tarphe and Thronium around the streams of Boagrius. With Aias followed forty black ships of the Locrians who live across from holy Euboea.

WHY IS FOOD AND COOKING CREATIVE BUT LIT ISN'T?

WHY IS COMICS & CARTOOS AN INTEREST BUT NOT REAL LITERATURE ISN'T?

HOW IS FUCKING MUSIC MORE CREATIVE THAN WRITING LITERATURE?

WHY IS READING BOOKS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS PONICANCER?
