As the ideal portrait is in one feature the likeness of this man, and in another the likeness of that man, while it is not throughout the likeness of any; so the elder and younger sons of this parable find at one point their closest counterpart in angels and men, at another in Jews and Gentiles, at a third in Pharisees and publicans, and indefinitely in as many pairs of corresponding characters as have been, or may yet be, found in the world.
Can there be any reason why you should reject these pages full of you, written for you, seen by no eye but yours? Send me their counterpart. I am so little of a woman yet that your confidences provided they are full and true will suffice for the happiness of your O. d'Este M.
"I will try Miss Harris may I not say Josephine?" was the reply of Leslie, who, though he had said very little in that direction, kept his eyes pretty closely on the wild female counterpart of himself, and was really getting on somewhat rapidly towards an entanglement.
The heart of Charles de Haldimar, soldier as he was, was pure, generous, and unsophisticated as that of the sister whom he so constantly eulogized; and, while listening to his eloquent praises, Sir Everard learnt to feel an interest in a being whom all had declared to be the counterpart of her brother, as well in personal attraction as in singleness of nature.

The earnest blue eyes of the man were very grave, touched with a deep tenderness. "Maren!" he whispered reverently; "maid of the splendid heart!"
Again, in another passage we read: To one the God hath given warlike deeds: But to another dance and lovely song. And lovely indeed is the song that accompanies the dance; it is the Gods' best gift. Homer seems to divide all things under the two heads of war and peace; and among the things of peace he singles out these two as the best counterpart to the things of war.
Soon, another party of villagers appeared, headed by another young man, who was quite the counterpart of the first, even to the scar in his lip; but his dagger-hilt and sheath were of solid silver, set with precious stones, and the long ringlets which hung upon his shoulders, were still more daintily curled.
The human tragedy thus portrayed was the luminous counterpart of the dark dramas that Athens beheld. There, in the theatre which itself was a church with the stage for pulpit man, blinded by passions, the Fates pursued and Destiny felled. The sombre spectacle was inexplicable. At Eleusis was enlightenment. "Eskato Bebeloï" Out from here, the profane the heralds shouted as the mysteries began.
