The pragmatist himself has no objection to abstractions. Elliptically, and 'for short, he relies on them as much as any one, ending upon innumerable occasions that their comparative emptiness makes of them useful substitutes for the overfulness of the facts he meets, with. But he never ascribes to them a higher grade of reality.
Jupiter, Juno, Venus, Jugatinus, Hymenaeus, Diana, &c. Extra. Cic. would have said expertem or positum extra. But T. is fond of the adv. used elliptically. Auspiciis==initiatory rites. Denuntiant, proclaim, denote. Accipere depends on denuntiant or admonetur. Rursus, quae referantur. Rhenanus conjectured; rursusque referant, which has since become the common reading.
That flits upon an orbit elliptically or parabolically or hyperbolically curved, keeping no man knows what trysts with Time. It seems fit that Shelley and the author of the "Imitation" should both have been keen and simple enough to perceive these flights, and to guess at the order of this periodicity.
They were all arched elliptically by bending the bough of a tree at a certain height from the ground, and resting the other end on a forked stick at the opposite side of the arch. A thick layer of boughs was then put over the roof and back, on which there was also a thick coating of red clay, so that the hut was impervious to wind or heat.
It seemed so right and simple a suggestion that even Winifred was surprised when she said: "No, I'll keep him now he's back; he must just behave that's all." They all looked at her.

The time, as I have said, was September, the day dull and showery, and some of the damp and gloom of it seemed to have penetrated the long Hall of the Manege, where on their eight rows of green benches elliptically arranged in ascending tiers about the space known as La Piste, sat some eight or nine hundred of the representatives of the three orders that composed the nation.
By contrast, Daffingdon Dill looked more of a gentleman than ever. "He's like his brother just!" said Virgilia to herself. "Imagine!" she added elliptically. While Morrell collected the men and impressed his very urgent and particular demands upon the intimidated steward, Virgilia, leaving Preciosa, bestowed a few moments' exertions upon Elizabeth Gibbons.
To-day its signification has been slightly modified, but a serious man un uomo serio still represents to the middle-class father the ideal of the correct son-in-law. "Eh, without prudence!" exclaimed Carnesecchi, elliptically, as though to ask where he himself would have been had he not possessed prudence in abundance.
Well, be it so, for if there were no Caesar, there could, of course, be no positive truth about him but then distinguish between 'true' as being positively and completely so established, and 'true' as being so only 'practically, elliptically, and by courtesy, in the sense of not being positively irrelevant or UNtrue.
