"I had a similar moment when I paired 'soul-stirring' and 'bolstering.' The rhyme is not perfect, of course--the equal accents on 'soul' and 'stir' don't quite match the heavy accent on 'bol' and the lighter one on 'ster,' but I tried to mask that by leaping the melody up on each '-ing' to distract the ear."
