She had once mentioned her own hypothetic marriage, only to be told that girls did not speak of such things in fun, and it would be quite time enough when the occasion rose, and had she given the canary its clean water?
"Helena Brett's Career"
Desmond Coke
The wide-wasting earthquake, the storm, the battle, and the tyranny, are attributable to this hypothetic being in the same degree as the fairest forms of nature, sunshine, liberty, and peace.
"The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley Volume III"
Percy Bysshe Shelley Edited by Thomas Hutchinson, M. A.
Comet lank and melancholic -Orbit shocking parabolic- Seen for a little in the sky Of the world of sympathy- Seldom failing when predicted, Coming most when most restricted, Dragging a nebulous tail with thee Of hypothetic vagrancy- Of vagrants large, and vagrants small, Vagrants scarce visible at all!
"What's Mine's Mine V1"
George MacDonald
