At the top is the daylight; in the analogy, perceptiveness quite achieved.
"The Furnace"
Rose Macaulay
Of course, there are natures whose perceptiveness outruns their power of expression-and these are, as a rule, the dissatisfied, unhappy temperaments that one encounters; there are others whose power of expression outruns their perceptiveness, and these are facile, fluent, empty, agreeable writers.
"The Silent Isle"
Arthur Christopher Benson
There is a beautiful illustration of this in a noble poem that our later critics have handled with a strange lack of perceptiveness.
"The Right and Wrong Uses of the Bible"
R. Heber Newton
