But as men too often do, he tried to thrust away his first true instincts, and replace their warning with a lumbering reason. He sat deep in thought, gazing at the table before him. If it were true, if she were really going, if she really meant good-bye, what a relief!
Thorwald's men were in good case. "You have made new men of us from head to foot," said Dalfin gleefully. "In very truth we have sore need of change." Now we went to replace the deck planking, and she bethought herself. "Let us keep the little chest with the gold where we can reach it easily," she said. "Supposing we are wrecked it will be well to have it at hand."
I know the sort of dismay that follows the combat with death. In short, my poor child, I can only open a maternal heart to you which will replace nothing, but which is suffering with yours, and very keenly in each one of your troubles. G. Sand CCXXII. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Nohant, 14 April, 1872
Of course it is incorrect to describe facts as "containing past and present matter," but, as we have often pointed out, misleading though their logical implications are, we are obliged to replace facts by abstractions when we want to describe them.

She was still young in form and face, but her teeth were gone, and, like so many of her neighbors, she was too poor to replace them from the dentist's.
He persisted most strenuously in freeing himself from the servile formulas of conventional style, while he earnestly repudiated the charlatanism which sought to replace the old abuses only by the introduction of new ones.
Hereupon I requested Delilah to carry back Morhof, and replace him in the wide gap he had left in the bookshelf. She was then to find and bring down the volume I had been speaking of. Delilah took the wisdom of the seventeenth century in her arms, and departed on her errand.
Eternal night covered the earth. After the labor, as soon as daybreak began to replace night with melancholy, we buried ourselves methodically in the depth of the caverns there.
