"He is like fern, that vile unuseful weed, That springs equivocally, without seed." He was not made for honour, nor it for him, which makes it sit so unfavouredly upon him. The fore-part of himself and the hinder-part of his coach publish his distinction; as French lords, that have haute justice that is, may hang and draw distinguish their qualities by the pillars of their gallows.
"But what do you know about this trail life?" he growled a little later. "Enough to conform," she rejoined equivocally, pulling out the dried wood from the oven and replacing it with wet. "Listen to it! How it storms!" he exclaimed. "It's growing worse, if worse be possible."
Things are said to be named 'equivocally' when, though they have a common name, the definition corresponding with the name differs for each. Thus, a real man and a figure in a picture can both lay claim to the name 'animal'; yet these are equivocally so named, for, though they have a common name, the definition corresponding with the name differs for each.

What he wanted to reply was that he should abandon all this job-hunting and live lean until he could sell his real work, instead of striving to maintain the semblance of an expensive comfort in the city by selling himself to magazines and publishers.
When words are used equivocally, I receive them in either sense; when they are metaphorical, I adopt them in their primitive acceptation.
Randolph presently began to feel Lemoyne as a variously yet equivocally gifted young fellow one so curiously endowed as to be of no use to his own people, and of no avail for any career they were able to offer him.
At best, it describes the vis vitá by one only of its many influences. It is however, as we have said before, preferable to the former, because it is not, as they are, altogether unfruitful, inasmuch as it attests, less equivocally than any other sign, the presence or absence of that degree of the vis vitá which is the necessary condition of organic or self-renewing power.
What is the clue?" "I forgot to tell you; at least, I should have told you, but you've been so snappy all the afternoon that I thought there was no need," Dulcie answered equivocally. "Well, the clue is merely this. When Churchill that's the head gardener, you know," she said to Mrs.
