The term "wizen" has been effectively employed in literature to evoke imagery of decay, age, or physical deterioration. In Anton Chekhov's work, it is used for a seemingly disheveled, aged character as seen in "The wizen-faced frump!" [1]. Oscar Wilde follows a similar theme in The Picture of Dorian Gray, where the word accentuates the inevitable decline of physical beauty, suggesting a future where even the face becomes wrinkled and "wizen" [2]. Meanwhile, Robert Burns incorporates "wizen" within a more visceral and descriptive context in his poetry, painting a picture of a beast with a "sweaty, wizen'd hide" [3]. Together, these examples illustrate the word's potent ability to convey the effects of time and neglect on character and creature alike.
