Boats Against the Current
There is so little to remember of anyone— an anecdote, a conversation at table. But every memory is turned over and over again, every word, however chance, written in the heart in the hope that memory will fulfill itself, and become flesh, and that wanderers will find a way home.

Nouns describe objective roles, parts to play, scripts to follow. Adjectives are more amorphous and qualitative, describing how we put our unique mark on an expected role. Both nouns and adjectives are necessary.
