Usage examples for excruciatingly
-
It never really died, then- the soul which can suffer so excruciatingly and so interminably; it withers to the outward eye only; like that strange moss which can lie on a dusty shelf half a century and yet, if placed in water, grows green again. – Youth and the Bright Medusa by Willa Cather
