              You may, fair lady,
              Perceive I speak sincerely.           --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Till we ourselves see it with our own eyes, and
              perceive it by our own understandings, we are still
              in the dark.                          --Locke.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. To be affected of influented by. [R.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The upper regions of the air perceive the collection
              of the matter of tempests before the air here below.
                                                    --Bacon.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To discern; distinguish; observe; see; feel; know;
          understand.
  
     Usage: To Perceive, Discern. To perceive a thing is to
            apprehend it as presented to the senses or the
            intellect; to discern is to mark differences, or to
            see a thing as distinguished from others around it. We
            may perceive two persons afar off without being able
            to discern whether they are men or women. Hence,
            discern is often used of an act of the senses or the
            mind involving close, discriminating, analytical
            attention. We perceive that which is clear or obvious;
            we discern that which requires much attention to get
            an idea of it. ``We perceive light, darkness, colors,
            or the truth or falsehood of anything. We discern
            characters, motives, the tendency and consequences of
            actions, etc.'' --Crabb.
