This is obviously a great name, and perhaps one key to the store\u2019s longevity; it\u2019s one of the few small businesses in the area to have lasted over thirty years. I think it\u2019s tops. No precious nonsense here, but the smell of roasting beans and the clutter of brewing paraphernalia is like a comforting hug.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always hoped that their name was one of the few accurate Miltonian uses of the word <em>sensuous<\/em> in modern signage. After all, Milton came up with <em>sensuous<\/em> specifically to evoke a sensory experience innocent of leers and winks. And it didn\u2019t really take. As <em>Oxford Dictionaries<\/em> would have it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The words <strong>sensual<\/strong> and <strong>sensuous<\/strong> are frequently used interchangeably to mean \u201cgratifying the senses,\u201d especially in a sexual sense. Strictly speaking, this goes against a traditional distinction, by which <strong>sensuous<\/strong> is a more neutral term, meaning \u201crelating to the senses rather than the intellect\u201d (<span class=\"exampleGroup exGrBreak exampleNote\"><em class=\"example\">swimming is a beautiful, <strong>sensuous<\/strong> experience<\/em><\/span>), while <strong>sensual<\/strong> relates to gratification of the senses, especially sexually (<span class=\"exampleGroup exGrBreak exampleNote\"><em class=\"example\">a <strong>sensual<\/strong> massage<\/em><\/span>). In fact, the word <strong>sensuous<\/strong> is thought to have been invented by John Milton (1641) in a deliberate attempt to avoid the sexual overtones of <strong>sensual<\/strong>. In practice, the connotations are such that it is difficult to use <strong>sensuous<\/strong> in Milton\u2019s sense. While traditionalists struggle to maintain a distinction, the evidence suggests that the neutral use of <strong>sensuous<\/strong> is rare in modern English. If a neutral use is intended, it is advisable to use alternative wording.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ah, Milton! Look up the word now and you\u2019re likely to find \u201ca range of romance products designed to bring you and your lover even closer,\u201d an Est\u00e9e Lauder perfume (\u201cWarm, Luminous, Feminine\u201d) and a 2007 record by the Japanese artist Cornelius featuring the tracks \u201cBeep it,\u201d \u201cGum,\u201d and \u201cToner.\u201d I do not recommend an image search.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how Milton used it in his tractate<em>\u00a0Of Education<\/em>: \u201cOrnate rhetorick taught out of the rule of Plato &#8230; \u00a0To which poetry would be made subsequent, or indeed rather precedent, as being less suttle and fine, but more simple, sensuous, and passionate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s sort of how I feel about The Sensuous Bean. It\u2019s unfettered by the dialectics of modern coffee. Passionate? Certainly\u2014and delicious, to boot. But perhaps less \u201csuttle and fine\u201d than its younger counterparts, and the better for it. What\u2019s more, on my last visit I passed a gentleman sporting both an open fly and a bare chest, and this seemed to have everything to do with the sensuous, and nothing with the sensual.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sadie Stein is contributing editor of\u00a0<\/em>The Paris Review<em>, and the\u00a0<\/em>Daily<em>\u2019s correspondent.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a coffee shop in my neighborhood called the Sensuous Bean.
