I said, that Superstition was the child of Fear, and Fear the child of Ignorance; and you might expect me to say antithetically, that Science was the child of Courage, and Courage the child of Knowledge. But these genealogies like most metaphors do not fit exactly, as you may see for yourselves.
Very trivial, perhaps, this anguish seems to weather-worn mortals who have to think of Christmas bills, dead loves, and broken friendships; but it was not less bitter to Maggie perhaps it was even more bitter than what we are fond of calling antithetically the real troubles of mature life.
Indeed, the Levant has helped antithetically to preach the same lesson, in showing us by its own fatal example that the improper study of mankind is woman, and that they who but follow the fair will inevitably degenerate. The Far Oriental knows nothing of either study, and cares less.
So long as Matter and Mind, x and y, are held to be antithetically opposed in substance, so long must Materialism suppose that a connection of causality subsists between the two, such that the former substance is produced in some unaccountable way by the latter.
'According to the riches of His grace. Another angle at which the same thought is viewed appears in another part of the letter, where we have this variation in the expression, 'According to the riches of His glory. 'Grace' and 'Glory' are generally opposed antithetically; in this epistle they are united, for in the verse before my text I read: 'To the praise of the glory of His grace. So the first thought is, the whole wealth of God is available for every Christian soul.
The jurists often mention antithetically universal successions and those confined to a single specific thing. Ulpian says that a man succeeds to another's place, whether his succession be universal or to the single object. /1/ If further evidence were wanting for the present argument, it would be found in another expression of Ulpian's.
We may imagine, then, that by their exclusion from the circumscribed activities constituting consciousness, these outer activities, though of the same intrinsic nature, become antithetically opposed in aspect. Being disconnected from consciousness, or cut off by its limits, they are thereby rendered foreign to it.
I'm ambitious, in a way; but when that way requires me to leave the people the things that I love, then ambition chameleonizes and I become ambitious antithetically. Furthermore, I loathe the climate of Washington; and all the society I want, I can find right in my home with the exception of yourself."
"And now, my dear Miss Dawson," said Father Phil, "since I've read the lines at your high bidding, will you sing them for me at my humble asking?" "Very antithetically put, indeed," said Fanny; "but you must excuse me." "You said there was a tune to it?" "Yes; but I promised Captain Moriarty to sing him this," said Fanny, going over to the pianoforte, and laying her hand on an open music-book.
"I am just getting a soldier's stuff into me," responded Pisgah, antithetically. "Why do you go abroad, hungry, ill-dressed, and houseless, when you can wear the livery of France?" Pisgah thought the soldier a very presuming person. My troubles are temporary merely. A day or two may make me rich."
