From this point of view, optative sentences, sentences which express the wishes of him who pronounces them, may, in the beginning, well have been ambiguous, because there was, in the minds of those who uttered them, no clear conception of the quarter to which they were addressed: the idea of God may have been vague to the extreme of vagueness.
Some of these optative sentences however, were such that the community as a whole could join in them; and they were potentially, and became actually, prayers to the god of the community. The being to whom the community, as a whole, could pray, was thereby displayed as the god of the community. The idea of God became, so far, somewhat less vague, somewhat more sharply defined.
Andiamo a Napoli; yes, but not yet; we are sure at this season to have an impatient patient or two to visit in the Babuino, or at Serny's; who, labouring under incipient fever which has not yet tamed them into submission, tell us they would optative mood be at Florence in a week, and add in the imperative that they must be in London in three!

I need not say that I wish all manner of success to your friend the artist, and laurels of the weight of gold while of the freshness of grass alas! an impossible vegetable! fabulous as the Halcyon! My dearest Mr. Boyd, I wish I had a note from you to-day which optative aorist I am not sure of being either grammatical or reasonable! Perhaps you have expected to hear from me with more reason....
'We leave room on every subject for the human or optative part; for it is a part of science to make judicious inquiries and wishes. Novum Organum.
It is then that I feel like the suppliant of the old Babylonian prayer, "one whose kin are afar off, whose city is distant," and all that appears before my sight is one scroll of wrongs which this evil heritage has inflicted upon me. It has made my best years rich in misery; it has cut me off from marriage; it has compelled me, one hating vain complaint, to live querulously in the optative mood.
