💬 Usage Examples
“[Bishop Lancelot] Andrewes takes a word and derives the world from it; squeezing and squeezing the word until it yields a full juice of meaning which we should never have supposed any word to possess. In this process the qualities which we have mentioned, of ordonnance and precision, are exercised.” William H. Pritchard; The Prose Eliot; The Hudson Review (New York); Spring 2015.
