'The right reverend, the Lord Bishop of Slickville: wouldn't it look well on the back of a letter, eh? or your signature to one sent to me, signed 'Joshua Slickville. It sounds better, that, than 'Old Minister, don't it?" "Oh, if you go for to talk that way, Sam, I am done; but I will shew you that the Tories are the men to govern this great nation. A Tory I may say 'noscitur a sociis."
And throughout this Essay the feeling that truth and beauty and virtue are one, and that Nature is the symbol which typifies it to the soul, is the inspiring sentiment. Noscitur a sociis applies as well to a man's dead as to his living companions. A young friend of mine in his college days wrote an essay on Plato. When he mentioned his subject to Mr.
They had driven back the enemy with discomfiture, a thing, by the way, Sir, which is not always performed when it is promised. A gentleman to whom I have already referred in this debate had come into Congress, during my absence from it, from South Carolina, and had brought with him a high reputation for ability. He came from a school with which we had been acquainted, et noscitur a sociis.
Hedge, who knew Emerson well, has spoken to me of his extraordinary gift, and no reader of "English Traits" can have failed to mark the formidable penetration of the intellect which looked through those calm cerulean eyes. Noscitur a sociis is as applicable to the books a man most affects as well as to the companions he chooses. It is with the kings of thought that Emerson most associates.
I was wrong to speak unkindly to you, very wrong indeed, and I am sorry for it; but don't teaze me no more, that's a good lad; for I feel worse than you do about it. I beg your pardon, I " "Well," said Mr. Slick, "to get back to what we was a sayin', for you do talk like a book, that's a fact; 'noscitur a sociis, says you." "Ay, 'Birds of a feather flock together, as the old maxim goes.
However, it was not of Keats that I wished to write, but of his friend, John Hamilton Reynolds. Noscitur a sociis a man is known by the company he keeps. Reynolds, I think, must have been excellent company, if we may judge him by his writings. We find the poet writing to him in the April of 1817, from the Isle of Wight.
Of these personages, and so of many others with whom Fuller associated, Mr. Bailey, heedful of the adage noscitur a sociis, has compiled very satisfactory sketches, derived in all cases from the most trustworthy authorities.
There are, however, a few, whom, like myself, imprisonment has rather mortified than hardened: with these only I converse; and of these you may, perhaps, hereafter receive some account from Your humble servant, No. 45. Nulla fides regni sociis, omnisque potestas Impatiens consortis erit. LUCAN. Lib. i. 92. No faith of partnership dominion owns: Still discord hovers o'er divided thrones.
The fact was that He drew them to Himself and evidently was glad to have them round Him. The inference natural to low natures was noscitur a sociis and that the bond between Him and them was common evil tendencies and ways. His censors could not conceive of any one's seeking the outcasts from pity and for their good. It meant no complicity with, nor minimising of, sinfulness.
"I forgot to tell you that Major Keene is much addicted to play, and, besides, is intimate with the Vicomte de Châteaumesnil. Noscitur a sociis." The reverend man was an indifferent classic, but he had a way of flashing scraps out of grammars and Analecta Minora before women and others unlikely to be down upon him, as if they were quotations from some recondite author.
