Carus endows the cell with unconscious psychical life, a memory for the past shows itself in the inheritance of dispositions and talents, just as the formation of milk in the breasts of the pregnant and the formation of lungs in the embryo betray a prevision of the future, and points out that with the higher development of organic and spiritual life the antitheses constantly become more articulate: individual differences are greater among men than among women, among adults than among children, among Europeans than among negroes.
"I know nothing of the monks of the eighth century and their poetry, but I do know something of Tertullian, and you mean to tell me that you admire his style those harsh chopped-up phrases and strained antitheses." "I should think I did.
Steevens' Antitheses New York compared with Other Cities Its Slums Advertisements Architecture in New York and Philadelphia. Many superlatives have been applied to New York by her own children, by the stranger within her gates, and by the stranger without her gates, at a safe distance.
Macaulay made him the subject of some of the most unfortunately exaggerated of those antitheses of blame and praise which, in the long run, have done the writer more harm than his subjects.
too apt to note his superiority with the sneer, "they call this man as good as me," Bacon, in one of his finest antitheses, draws a contrast between the love of Excellence and the love of Excelling.
All these we must pass over with this brief mention upon the present occasion; our business being with their numerous antitheses and would-be rivals the incarnate nuisances who fill the air with discordant and fragmentary mutilations and distortions of heaven-born melody, to the distraction of educated ears and the perversion of the popular taste.
Notice, too, the manifold antitheses of the words. Barabbas is set against Christ; the Holy One and the Just against a robber, the Prince of Life against a murderer. 'You killed' 'the Prince of Life. 'You killed' 'God raised.
For not only the Resemblance, but the Opposition of Ideas, does very often produce Wit; as I could shew in several little Points, Turns and Antitheses, that I may possibly enlarge upon in some future Speculation. Propriety of Words is the cloathing of these Thoughts with such Expressions as are naturally proper to them.
Nowhere do the most opposite antitheses dwell in such close proximity as in the mind of Bayle. The doctrines of faith are not only above reason, incomprehensible, but contrary to reason; and it is just on this that our merit in accepting them depends.
These two points were considered very fine by the critics: they are two such ghastly epigrams as continually disfigure French Tragedy. For this reason I have never been able to read Racine with pleasure, the dialogue is so crammed with these lugubrious good things melancholy antitheses sparkling undertakers' wit; but this is heresy, and had better be spoken discreetly.
