“The new "ambiguity" means, in a way adjudged favorable to literary, poetic, intellectually and psychologically well-devised and praiseworthily executed linguistic performance, uncertainty of meaning, or difficulty for the interpreter in identifying just what the meaning in question is: it means the old meanings of ambiguity with a difference. It means uncertainty of meaning (of a word or combination of words) purposefully incorporated in a literary composition for the attainment of the utmost possible variety of meaning-play compressible within the verbal limits of the composition.” WayWellsMeanPlayDifferencesLimitsPerformancesDifficultyVarietyCombinationUncertaintyPoeticCompositionAmbiguityAttainmentIdentifyingInterpreter Author:Laura Riding

“There has been abroad many times some criticism of our Government, of our people, and our ways, but that has demonstrated, I think, that when they are in real trouble and real difficulty over there, they turn to us as a nation that will be fair with them--one in whose judgment and in whose character they can rely; and that not withstanding differences that have seemed to exist, they are willing to abide by the faith that they have in us, and I think that is a very substantial accomplishment.” PeopleThinkingWayHas BeensRealCharacterGovernmentTurnsNationsDifferencesTroubleWillingPrideJudgmentFairsCriticismDifficultyAccomplishmentRelyPatriotismWithstanding Author:Calvin Coolidge
