 DISOBEY, v.t. To celebrate with an appropriate ceremony the maturity of a command.His right to govern me is clear as day, My duty manifest to disobey; And if that fit observance e'er I shut May I and duty be alike undone. --Israfel Brown |
| DISSEMBLE, v.i. To put a clean shirt upon the character. Let us dissemble. --Adam |
| DISTANCE, n. The only thing that the rich are willing for the poor to call theirs, and keep. |
| DISTRESS, n. A disease incurred by exposure to the prosperity of a friend. |
| DIVINATION, n. The art of nosing out the occult. Divination is of as many kinds as there are fruit-bearing varieties of the flowering dunce and the early fool. |
| Divorce. A resumption of diplomatic relations and rectification of boundaries. |
| DOG, n. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. This Divine Being in some of his smaller and silkier incarnations takes, in the affection of Woman, the place to which there is no human male aspirant. The Dog is a survival --an anachronism. He toils not, neither does he spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never lay upon a door-mat all day long, sun-soaked and fly-fed and fat, while his master worked for the means wherewith to purchase the idle wag of the Solomonic tail, seasoned with a look of tolerant recognition. |
| Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. |
| Don't steal; thou it never thus compete successfully in business. Cheat. |
| Doubt begins only at the last frontiers of what is possible. |
| Doubt, indulged and cherished, is in danger of becoming denial; but if honest, and bent on thorough investigation, it may soon lead to full establishment of the truth. |
| DRAGOON, n. A soldier who combines dash and steadiness in so equal measure that he makes his advances on foot and his retreats on horseback. |
| DRAMATIST, n. One who adapts plays from the French. |
| DRUIDS, n. Priests and ministers of an ancient Celtic religion which did not disdain to employ the humble allurement of human sacrifice. Very little is now known about the Druids and their faith. Pliny says their religion, originating in Britain, spread eastward as far as Persia. Caesar says those who desired to study its mysteries went to Britain. Caesar himself went to Britain, but does not appear to have obtained any high preferment in the Druidical Church, although his talent for human sacrifice was considerable. Druids performed their religious rites in groves, and knew nothing of church mortgages and the season-ticket system of pew rents. They were, in short, heathens and --as they were once complacently catalogued by a distinguished prelate of the Church of England --Dissenters. |
| DUCK-BILL, n. Your account at your restaurant during the canvas-back season. |
