Тезаурус:
- This passage sheds much light on the method of "Mr. Eliot's Sunday Morning Service" where the self-mutilation of "enervate Origen" is placed in the same lineage as the sexual origin of "the Word", and where the initial "sapient sutlers of the Lord" who "Drift across the window-panes" is a passage with an ambiguous, or better ambivalent, reference, since it holds together in one term both the "sable presbyters" who bring offerings to church and "the bees" who bring pollen from one part of the plant to another and so perform the "Blest office of the epicene".
- Writing on "The Fall of the Roman Empire and Its Lessons for Us" one author had already struck the easy notes of comparison in 1898 - the decline of the arts of soldiery and manliness, the financial oppression of the middle classes, subsidised food prices, bread and circuses (that is, football) and the recruitment of the barbarian "lower races" into the imperial armies were all listed as forces "which may tend to enervate and degrade us, to destroy our love of truth, to poison the fountains of family life".
- The slippage principle which should, I remarked, enervate but in truth exhilarates, has a way of positioning the reader on the side of the narrative against the narrator.
