Society is at the acme of sensuality; it has reached the strangest antithetical condition. It is degraded in its excessive refinement; it is coarse and repulsive in its cultivation, it is ignorant in its enlightenment. Necessarily all this is the effect of a cause, but such a pitiful cause! The total wreck of man's best element.
However, this I can affirm with veracity, that if I am rejected, my mind is made up to pursue an antithetical course of life altogether. If he rejects me now, he will never reject me again." "Musha, how Denny Dionysis, avick? What do you mane?" said the father. "I will give," said the son, "what is designated a loose translation of my meaning to Mr.
James is an inexplicable cousin. Nature hath her unities, which not every critic can penetrate; or, if we feel, we cannot explain them. The pen of Yorick, and of none since his, could have drawn J.E. entire those fine Shandian lights and shades, which make up his story. I must limp after in my poor antithetical manner, as the fates have given me grace and talent.
A person of rank who dabbled in painting for his amusement, having one day shown Poussin one of his performances, and asked his opinion of its merits, the latter replied, "You only want a little poverty, sir, to make a good painter."

The two antithetical types of society are the militant and the industrial the former implies compulsory co-operation under more or less despotic rule, with governmental assumption of functions belonging to the individual and a minimizing of individual initiative; in the latter, government is reduced to a minimum and best conducted by representative agencies, public organizations are largely replaced by private organizations, the individual is freer and looks less to the state for protection and for aid.
It is like dividing the bud and the blossom into two separate categories, and putting their grace to the credit of two different and antithetical principles. But the Indian mind never has any hesitation in acknowledging its kinship with nature, its unbroken relation with all.
Her hand in exchange for her foot, seemed to me an antithetical recompense, in sufficiently good taste. Pharaoh opened wide his eyes of glass, surprised at my pleasantry, as well as my request. "From what country are you, and what is your age?" "I am a Frenchman, and I am twenty-seven years old, venerable Pharaoh." "Twenty-seven years old!
By growth, as used in this antithetical sense, is to be understood increase of size; by development, increase of structure.
