Haydon says, "The curve of the circle is excess, the straight line is deficiency, the ellipsis is the degree between, and that curve, added to or united with proportion, regulates the form and features of a perfect woman." Mr.
Of the eleven grammatical figures, Ireland delights chiefly in the antimeria, or changing one part of speech for another, and in the ellipsis or defect. Of the remaining long list of figures, the Irish are particularly disposed to the epizeuxis, as 'indeed, indeed at all, at all, and antanaclasis, or double meaning.
By the holy! is an oath in which more is meant than meets the ear; it is an ellipsis an abridgment of an oath. The full formula runs thus By the holy poker of hell! This instrument is of Irish invention or imagination. It seems a useful piece of furniture in the place for which it is intended, to stir the devouring flames, and thus to increase the torments of the damned.
Gerlach, as cited by Or. in loc. Aestimanti. Greek idiom. Elliptical dative, nearly equivalent to the abl. abs. In A. II. the ellipsis is supplied by credibile est. Cf. Boetticher's Lex. Tac. sub Dativus. Eoque mixti. Eo, causal particle==for that reason. Caesar adopted this arrangement in the battle of Pharsalia. Hellen. 7, 5. Centeni.
Mart. 6, 7: nubit decimo viro; also Beck, as above cited. Transigitur. Properly a business phrase. The business is done up, brought to an end. So A. 34: transigite cum expeditionibus. Ultra, sc. primum maritum. So the ellipsis might be supplied. Ultra here is equivalent to longior in the next clause, as T. often puts the adverb in place of the adjective, whether qualifying or predicate.
"Isn't it possible that he is what he says he is?" "Sure it's possible, but I don't believe it." "Of course, I know you like to think the worst of a man, but when you meet him in my house I'll thank you to treat him properly. I vouch for him." "You never met him before this afternoon." "That's my business. It ought to be enough for you that he is my guest." Charlton filled in the ellipsis.
The primary principle employed to effect this was ellipsis, but an accurate understanding of the intelligence of the hearer was requisite in order to become proficient. The alphabet was not disturbed or abbreviated. The radical change was in the dismemberment of sentences.
Don't whine because you can't be a saint, and she ain't an angel. Be a man and treat her like a woman. Don't be a damn fool. Good-by." He tore himself from Brown's grasp, and leaped down the stairs like a deer. At the stable door he collared the half-sleeping hostler and backed him against the wall. "Saddle my horse in two minutes, or I'll " The ellipsis was frightfully suggestive.
This correction of Newton's error, and the discovery that a projectile would move in an elliptical orbit when under the influence of a force varying in the inverse ratio of the square of the distance, led Newton, as he himself informs us in his letter to Halley, to discover "the theorem by which he afterward examined the ellipsis," and to demonstrate the celebrated proposition that a planet acted upon by an attractive force varying inversely as the squares of the distances, will describe an elliptical orbit in one of whose foci the attractive force resides.
There is an ellipsis before nisi quod, which R. would supply thus: greatly to the credit of both parties but more praise belongs to the good wife, etc. Major sc. quam in bono viro. So, after plus supply quam in malo viro: But more praise belongs to a good wife, than to a good husband, by as much as more blame attaches to a bad wife, than to a bad husband. Sors quaesturae.
