Thicketed?
Verb used as adjective? Looks like an adverb.
Where once had lain open field now surged upward and at length and great breadth a thicketed realm.

About Me
- Name: Horace Jeffery Hodges
- Location: Seoul, South Korea
I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Adjectival, like wooded hillside, whited sepulchre, towered Ilium, etc.
And I wish you a happy Thanksgiving if I can make that retroactive.
Sorry, I updated before seeing comment 1.

The wonder is that my chronic inconsequentiality hasn't induced pernicious inertia. Good genes, probably.
"Pernicious inertia": medical condition; or strange physics of the quantum level?
