It was symbolized ( at least for those of us who recognized ourselves in the image ) by that self-consuming, elegiac candle of Edna St. Vincent Millay's, that candle which from the quatrain where she ensconced it became a beacon to us, but which in point of fact would have had to be as tall as a funeral taper to last even the evening, let alone the night.

Somewhat daunted, the two American missionaries reached the police station where they were questioned by a most unfriendly clerk.

I managed to do this by the time the great A.B. returned to the place where he last had seen the fierce nihilist.

`` History has this in common with every other science: that the historian is not allowed to claim any single piece of knowledge, except where he can justify his claim by exhibiting to himself in the first place, and secondly to any one else who is both able and willing to follow his demonstration, the grounds upon which it is based.

Trevelyan was at least in part attracted to the period by an almost unconscious desire to take up the story where Macaulay's History Of England had broken off.

It stumbled on infantry where no infantry should have been and McPherson's aggressive impulse faded out, overwhelmed by fears of the unknown.

wept day and night for the sins and blindness of the world had a long walk through the trees and woods by his house, where he constantly walked morning and evening, and even in the depths of the night, alone by himself, for contemplation and the enjoyment of the dispensation of light.

He concluded that selective service would not only prevent the disorganization of essential war industries but would avoid the undesirable moral effects of the British reliance on enlistment only -- `` where the feeling of the people was whipped into a frenzy by girls pinning white feathers on reluctant young men, orators preaching hate of the Germans, and newspapers exaggerating enemy outrages to make men enlist out of motives of revenge and retaliation ''.

In Europe, Premier Clemenceau, showing his animal proclivities as the `` Tiger of France '', asked Pershing by letter for the creation of special houses where the sexual desires of American men could be satisfied.

It met a serious rebuff in New Orleans, where the two schools selected for the first moves toward integration were boycotted by white parents.

The United States was engaged in a military attack on a peaceful, orderly people governed by a regime that had proved itself the most pro-Western and anti-Communist within any of the new nations -- the only place in Africa, moreover, where a productive relationship between whites and blacks had apparently been achieved.

Sometimes they get their initial experience in church haflis, conducted by Lebanese and Syrians in the U.S., where they dance with just as few veils across their bodies as in nightclubs.

The same definition holds in any unital ring or algebra where a is any invertible element.

A less strict and more practically useful definition will refer to the frequencies where the frequency function is small.

Every Hilbert space X is a Banach space because, by definition, a Hilbert space is complete with respect to the norm associated with its inner product, where a norm and an inner product are said to be associated if for all x ∈ X.

The definition works without any changes if instead of vector spaces over a field F, we use modules over a commutative ring R. It also can be easily generalized to n-ary functions, where the proper term is multilinear.

By definition, where a director enters into a transaction with a company, there is a conflict between the director's interest ( to do well for himself out of the transaction ) and his duty to the company ( to ensure that the company gets as much as it can out of the transaction ).

The first is an informal definition of community as a place where people used to live.

* In stem-based definition, A refers to the most inclusive clade containing X, Y, etc., and their common ancestor, down to where Z branches off below A. Taxa are included between the node of A and down to ( but not including ) the branching point to Z ; that is, the stem of A.

This definition is useful for quantifying the factors responsible both for the state of equilibrium systems ( where ), and for changes of state of non-equilibrium systems ( where A ≠ 0 ).

This functional definition still holds true in North America, where two other sizeable groups, Unamended Christadelphians and the CGAF, are not received by most North American Amended ecclesias.

In reality, this definition is generally used where only two firms have dominant control over a market.

# A definition should not be negative where it can be positive.

* useful clinically or in related areas where the definition will be used ;

A bit, or a group of malfunctioning physical bits ( not always the specific defective bit is known ; group definition depends on specific storage device ) is typically automatically fenced-out, taken out of use by the device, and replaced with another functioning equivalent group in the device, where the corrected bit values are restored ( if possible ).

( To be precise: for the definition of the dipole moment one should always consider the " dipole limit ", where e. g. the distance of the generating charges should converge to 0, while simultaneously the charge strength should diverge to infinity in such a way that the product remains a positive constant.

A bit, or a group of malfunctioning physical bits ( not always the specific defective bit is known ; group definition depends on specific storage device ) is typically automatically fenced-out, taken out of use by the device, and replaced with another functioning equivalent group in the device, where the corrected bit values are restored ( if possible ).

He has further stated: " I use the civil definition of murder, where someone can be guilty of murder if they are responsible in a reckless and wanton way for the loss of life, as in incarcerating people in camps where they may soon die of malnutrition, unattended disease, and forced labor, or deporting them into wastelands where they may die rapidly from exposure and disease.

As diplomats by definition enter the country under safe-conduct, violating them is normally viewed as a great breach of honour, although there have been a number of cases where diplomats have been killed.

The qualitative properties of dynamical systems do not change under a smooth change of coordinates ( this is sometimes taken as a definition of qualitative ): a singular point of the vector field ( a point where v ( x ) = 0 ) will remain a singular point under smooth transformations ; a periodic orbit is a loop in phase space and smooth deformations of the phase space cannot alter it being a loop.

The Roman Catholic Church does not consider the validity of an ecumenical council's teaching to be in any way dependent on where it is held or on the granting or withholding of prior authorization or legal status by any state, in line with the attitude of the 5th-century bishops who " saw the definition of the church's faith and canons as supremely their affair, with or without the leave of the Emperor " and who " needed no one to remind them that Synodical process pre-dated the Christianisation of the royal court by several centuries ".

Class AB is widely considered a good compromise for audio amplifiers, since much of the time the music is quiet enough that the signal stays in the " class A " region, where it is amplified with good fidelity, and by definition if passing out of this region, is large enough that the distortion products typical of class B are relatively small.

Nearly all ( excepting those where this is impossible by definition, such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ) note name, year or date of birth, and date of death.

By definition, a and b can be written as multiples of c: a = mc and b = nc, where m and n are natural numbers.
