From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) : [ devils ]
ABSENT, adj. Peculiarly exposed to the tooth of detraction; vilifed; hopelessly in the wrong; superseded in the consideration and affection of another. To men a man is but a mind. Who cares What face he carries or what form he wears? But woman's body is the woman. O, Stay thou, my sweetheart, and do never go, But heed the warning words the sage hath said: A woman absent is a woman dead. Jogo TyreeFrom The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 : [ gcide ]
Absent \Ab*sent"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Absented; p. pr. & vb. n. Absenting.] [Cf. F. absenter.] 1. To take or withdraw (one's self) to such a distance as to prevent intercourse; -- used with the reflexive pronoun. [1913 Webster] If after due summons any member absents himself, he is to be fined. --Addison. [1913 Webster] 2. To withhold from being present. [Obs.] ``Go; for thy stay, not free, absents thee more.'' --Milton. [1913 Webster]From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 : [ gcide ]
Absent \Ab"sent\, a. [F., fr. absens, absentis, p. pr. of abesse to be away from; ab + esse to be. Cf. Sooth.] 1. Being away from a place; withdrawn from a place; not present. ``Expecting absent friends.'' --Shak. [1913 Webster] 2. Not existing; lacking; as, the part was rudimental or absent. [1913 Webster] 3. Inattentive to what is passing; absent-minded; preoccupied; as, an absent air. [1913 Webster] What is commonly called an absent man is commonly either a very weak or a very affected man. --Chesterfield. [1913 Webster] Syn: Absent, Abstracted. Usage: These words both imply a lack of attention to surrounding objects. We speak of a man as absent when his thoughts wander unconsciously from present scenes or topics of discourse; we speak of him as abstracted when his mind (usually for a brief period) is drawn off from present things by some weighty matter for reflection. Absence of mind is usually the result of loose habits of thought; abstraction commonly arises either from engrossing interests and cares, or from unfortunate habits of association.
