Hi,
Personally, when I try to use a word for the first time, I try to find a sentence in which I can use the literal meaning of the word. Later, once I'm sure I dominate that, I start moving towards figurative meanings/uses of the word.
However, I'm not sure about this sentence of yours. I find it odd-sounding, but I can't quite say why (maybe it's just that "limpid" is not that frequent a word).
