I was resolved to risk fortune, fame, life all to possess the object I so deeply adored. "L'abeille, Monsieur?" The garcon who helped me to the fragrant cup, at the same time handed me a newspaper fresh from the press. It was a large sheet, headed upon one side "L'Abeille", on the reverse its synonyme in English, "The Bee."
She has not, like her sister May in Germany, been transformed to a verb and made a synonyme for joy, "Deine Seele maiet den trüben Herbst" but April was believed in early ages to have been the birth-time of the world.
But this same sorrow and its mighty work, veiled from all mortal vision, shut out by very necessity from any sympathy save that of God, is a preparation for a purer vision, a second initiation, in which the eyes shall be reopened and the mystæ become epoptæ; and of such significance was this higher vision to the Greek, that it was a synonyme for the highest earthly happiness and a foretaste of Elysium.
By morals I do not mean the limited and literal signification of the term, such as is conveyed in its synonyme, morality, but the practices of men, as connected with their daily intercourse, their institutions, and their laws." "And such I call barefaced and downright wantonness and waste," interrupted his sturdy disputant.
Every unprejudiced reader will admit, that in emblem, name, character; and appearance, John Florio and Menalcas are allegorically identical; and it follows, as a consequence, that Rosalinde, married to the same person as Rose Daniel, is one and the same with her anagrammatic synonyme, and that her sorrows and joys, arising out of the conduct of her husband, must have had the same conditions.
The French philosophers of the eighteenth century pardoned what they regarded as his superstitious fancies in consideration of his contempt for priests, and of his cosmopolitan benevolence, impartially extended to all races and to all creeds. His name has thus become, throughout all civilised countries, a synonyme for probity and philanthropy. Nor is this high reputation altogether unmerited.
Our language is incapable of expressing the idea conveyed by this term; and the Western qualification "backwoodsman" is perhaps the nearest approach to a synonyme that we can attain.
The painter who is content with the praise of the world in respect to what does not satisfy himself, is not an artist, but an artisan; for though his reward be only praise, his pay is that of a mechanic, for his time, and not for his art. Reputation is but a synonyme of popularity; dependent on suffrage, to be increased or diminished at the will of the voters.
"Troth and I think the gentleman would be better if he went off to his flea-bag himself." In my then mystified intellect this west country synonyme for a bed a little puzzled me. "Yes sir, the lady is engaged to me: have you any thing to say to that?" "Nothing at present, at all," said Mark, almost timidly.
Yet this simple old man had been, but a few years before, the most envied of his race and age; and even in our day at two thousand years' interval, his name is used as a synonyme for the highest point of worldly riches attainable by mankind.
