        [1913 Webster]
  
              We talk of genius still, but with thought how
              changed! The genius of Augustus was a tutelary
              demon, to be sworn by and to receive offerings on an
              altar as a deity.                     --Tylor.
        [1913 Webster]

        for history, for poetry, or painting.

        [1913 Webster]
  
     5. A man endowed with uncommon vigor of mind; a man of
        superior intellectual faculties and creativity; as,
        Shakespeare was a rare genius.
  
     Syn: Genius, Talent.
  
     Usage: Genius implies high and peculiar gifts of nature,
            impelling the mind to certain favorite kinds of mental
            effort, and producing new combinations of ideas,
            imagery, etc. Talent supposes general strength of
            intellect, with a peculiar aptitude for being molded
            and directed to specific employments and valuable ends
            and purposes. Genius is connected more or less with
            the exercise of imagination, and reaches its ends by a
            kind of intuitive power. Talent depends more on high
            mental training, and a perfect command of all the
            faculties, memory, judgment, sagacity, etc. Hence we
            speak of a genius for poetry, painting. etc., and a
            talent for business or diplomacy. Among English
            orators, Lord Chatham was distinguished for his
            genius; William Pitt for his pre["e]minent talents,
            and especially his unrivaled talent for debate.
            [1913 Webster]
