Or was he merely paraphrasing or perhaps only characterizing? There was a dim ring in Banneker's cerebral ear of previous words, half taken in, which would indicate the latter and ruin the deadly plan, strike the poison-dose from his hand. Should he ask Fitch? Pin him down to the details? The character-sketcher was now upon the subject of Judge Enderby. "Sly old wolf!
The epic poet should diligently strive to attain the second and third, and may learn how to do it from the masters of rhetoric. Thus a poet should seek in an epic the same qualities which an orator is supposed by classical rhetorics to strive for in the statement of facts of his speech. Furthermore, says Pontanus, one can write very good poetry by paraphrasing orations in verse.
"I love you," she has probably said to him, paraphrasing Othello's speech to Cassio; "it is my duty, and as by this time you must be aware it is my keen if occasionally somewhat involved, sense of duty that is the cause of almost all our troubles in this play. You will always remain the object of what I cannot help feeling is misplaced affection on my part, mingled with contempt.
All we know is that our normal waking consciousness is only one special type. Around it lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different, and quite as real. Sometimes we, or it, or they, break through. I am paraphrasing James. Do you know James?" "I have read 'Daisy Miller." "This James was the Daisy Miller man's brother."
He takes the raw stuff of which novels are made and moulds it as he will. He has an absolutely fresh eye, as painters sometimes say. He looks on life as if he were the first literary man, 'and none had ever lived before him. Paraphrasing Ruskin, one may say of Hardy that in place of studying the old masters he has studied what the old masters studied. But his point of view is his own.
Freud calls this disguising or paraphrasing process the dream disfigurement. The literal is thereby displaced by the figurative, an allusion intimated through a nebulous atmosphere. Thus, in the following example, an unconscious death wish is exhibited. In the examination of a lady’s dream it struck me that the motive of a dead child occurred repeatedly, generally in connection with picnics.
I was with father when poor Mr. Burlock told us about it. He declared it was all the result of too much liberty in youth and bad company?" "Be warned, Nat, my boy," interrupted Ned, jokingly. "I must have the mater cut you down. 'And he rambled till the mater cut him down," hummed the brother, paraphrasing the butcher song. "Spare the allowance and cut anything else down you like," answered Nat.
I think it is better for you to have had her and lost her than not to have had her at all," he continued, unconsciously paraphrasing. "Even in your loneliness, you have the comfort of memory, and your boy I have wondered what a son might mean to me, now, in my old age. Dead though she is, you know she still loves you; that somewhere she is waiting to take your hand in hers."
Cheon's English generally required paraphrasing. Almost every day some fresh garment collapsed, and I bitterly regretted my recklessness in giving Jimmy's Nellie the bath wrapper. Fortunately a holland dress was behaving beautifully. "A staunch little beast," the Maluka called it.
The last pun is not at first obvious; the meaning is that the nicest sweetmeats are those which are not too sweet, for made dishes are hostile to digestion; or, as we may say, paraphrasing his diction, "Delicacies are conducive to delicacy." It was from this satura the celebrated rule was taken that guests should be neither fewer than the graces, nor more than the muses.
