Philosophy will chill your best impulses and most generous enthusiasms, it will make you over-cautious and doubtful of your friends, it will cause you to be indifferent to women in the plural, but it will hand you over, a weak and helpless victim to the one woman, when she comes, as she is bound to come. There is no one so hopelessly insane as a philosopher in love! Love women, but not a woman!"
He addressed his mother with the reverential plural "you," and called her "mother" instead of "mamma." But sometimes he turned to her suddenly, and briefly used the simple and familiar form of the singular: "Mamma, please be not thou disturbed if I come home late to-night." This pleased her; in such words she felt something serious and strong. But her uneasiness increased.
It will, we fear, be long before the Irish emerge so far from barbarism as to write in this style. The Irish are, however, we are happy to observe, making some little approaches to a refined and courtly style; kings, and in imitation of them, great men, and all who think themselves great a numerous class speak and write as much as possible in the plural number instead of the singular.
Had he only known other girls, he might have made a safe recovery, for love's remedy is truly the homeopathic "similia similibus curantur," woman plural being the natural cure for woman singular. As the Russian in the "Last Word" says, "A woman can do anything with a man provided there is no other woman." In Peter's case there was no other woman.
It is one of my possibilities which are over one of the things which you remember of me in other days " "So far back as March," said Sir Tom; "but we all recognise that in a lady's calendar that may mean a century." "Put it in the plural, mon ami centuries, that is more correct," said the Contessa, with her dazzling smile.
It is "the will of the Lord!" The Smiths were no sooner firm in power than rumors began to circulate of a recrudescence of plural marriage, and I heard reports of political plots by which the Prophets were to reestablish their autocracy in worldly affairs in the name of God.
"Four times as many as 'La Pucelle, which M. Chaplain is meditating. Is it also on this subject, too, that you have composed a hundred thousand verses?" "Listen to me, you eternally absent-minded creature," said Moliere. "It is certain," continued La Fontaine, "that legume, for instance, rhymes with posthume." "In the plural, above all."
From the afore-mentioned matter Homer seems to show this: that the world is one and finite. For if it had been infinite, it would never have been divided in a number having a limit. By the name "all" he signifies the collective whole. For in many other cases he uses the plural for the singular. Nor should I care Though thou wert thrust beneath the lowest deep Of earth and ocean, and in
Slaves are always better than their masters." "Do you refer to polygamy?" was asked. "Indeed I do not," she answered. "I believe in polygamy. My father and mother were Mormons, and I am a Mormon.... A plural wife isn't half as much of a slave as a single wife.
Out of that which was not he says was made the seed of the world, the word which was spoken, "Let there be light;" and this he says is that which is spoken in the Gospels; "That was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." We must not indeed overlook the fact that the plural occurs once in the middle of this passage as introducing the words of Moses; 'as these men say. And yet, though this decidedly modifies, I do not think that it removes the probability that Basilides himself is being quoted.
