| Sep 21, 2020 at 21:10 | comment | added | Anya | @Mari-LouA, I think I am through the 'oblivion, ardour, fervour' - I have looked through the 19th century usage and early 20th (P.G. Wodehouse uses both a great deal); and the answer is very short - it seems to boil down to etymology; one is fire-like, the other is simply heated; no implication as to the continuity of commitment. | |
| Sep 19, 2020 at 18:47 | comment | added | Anya | I cited that quote, first!:):) (though removed it to reduce the number of examples)...However, I think I will soon be near the end of it....(it must have been both, fervour and ardour, at the same time! what an affliction...:):):)) | |

| Sep 19, 2020 at 18:41 | comment | added | Anya | I feel like I have to - I do not think the question has been answered by anyone; and it fascinates me...but, whether it is an ardour or a fervour that I am feeling:), eventually, it feel burn itself out, as everything does:) | |

| Sep 9, 2020 at 17:21 | comment | added | Anya | Indeed. This answer aims to offer A framework of how one (of any background) would go about finding answers to these kinds of questions. The words are seemingly very close, and, in my view, the best way to get a sense of the difference is to read through as many examples of usage as possible until one develops an inner sense of what the words mean. Huge thanks re. citing the old examples only (I suppose I subscribe to the view that understanding historical usage might be helpful). MW cites current usage examples, and I omitted to point it out - will amend the answer. | |
| Sep 9, 2020 at 16:32 | comment | added | jsw29 | This answer provides many examples of the use of these words, but it is not immediately obvious what general conclusion should somebody like the OP draw from them. Also, the examples presented in the answer are all of their use by the writers of the past, while the OP seems to be primarily interested in how they are used nowadays. | |
