Portuguese term or phrase: contundência
Alifáticas mentes impetuosas, como queira me ensinar os primórdios dos insolentes, se faces que promulga dos mórbidos sentimentos em que há que sete corpos rebuscados como talharia de segundo plano, e que ponhas o incrédulo aos meus cânticos e me disseste à que devera confiar, simplesmente resplandeceria um andor no andaime da contundência em que dirás sátiras ao reluzir do nevoeiro.

incisivité (caractère de ce qui est incisif, contondant)


Explanation:
incisif : qui blesse, qui atteint profondément par le contenu de son discours, mordant, tranchant, contondant !

Example sentence(s):
  • l'incisivité de Bernard Herrmann ('Garden Devils') affronte le flegme des cuivres et de la mandoline du western spaghetti ('Tiger Lilies') sur la scène d'un théâtre de l'absurde ou d'un cirque fantasmatique (la fin de 'Destination').
  • Il me semble qu'un peu plus d'affirmation et d'"incisivité" de votre part ne nuirait, ni à votre professionnalisme, ni au caractère de votre journal.
