169. Imbue


From, “Jessye Norman to Publish Memoir,” by Julie Bosman, 2/29/12:

“I am absolutely thrilled to be able to tell my own story, to celebrate my family’s rich, diverse heritage, and to pay tribute to all those that have imbued my life with their resonance,” Ms. Norman said in a statement. “I am grateful beyond measure for everyone who has ever said ‘let’s get Jessye to sing’.”

Imbue: inspire or permeate with a feeling or quality
