- The Poet Being an Imitator
things as they were or are, things as they are said or thought to be, or things as they ought to be
- A Noun
A Noun is a composite significant sound, not marking time, of which no part is in itself significant
- A Verb
A Verb is a composite significant sound, marking time, in which, as in the noun, no part is in itself significant. For 'man' or 'white' does not express the idea of 'when'; but 'he walks' or 'he has walked' does connote time, present or past
- The Wineless Cup
