I can think of natlang examples of almost all of those.
I'll take that as a major compliment, especially coming from you, Jeff.
(No Indian blood whatsoever, but I do my best.)
I was probably unconsciously channeling some natlang examples in my previous message (such as the aspen dancer), and the reference to Cad Goddeu is, of course, a conscious one, but in general I was simply trying to shift away from bare material description to the realm of symbol, metaphor, and storytelling, since it opens up such a wide scope for imagination, depth, and beauty.
