Harvey : Gabriel (1545?-1630), poet, university don, & friend of Edmund Spenser.
... liqueurs to a regale of confidences and confessions by Sir Harvey Adamson which was perhaps the most enjoyable dish of the evening. The inventive Briton has discovered the great truth that out of the fullness of the stomach the heart speaketh and the result is that great British institution, the after-dinner speech. So the clans gathered and Sir Harvey of the clan of the sons of Adam spoke from "beneath the... dropping into poetry in its fervour assured us in sonorous blank verse) and behold! even as was the state of his stomach, so was the speech of Sir Harvey full-stomached and packed with choice titbits, comfortable, placid and well-pleased. Of course Sir Harvey talked of the unrest, but his speech was eminently restful; it had all the large benevolence, sweet reasonableness and placid self-satisfaction... if it does not feel as full-fed and happy as Sir Harvey after his haggis, well, they are ungrateful brutes and there is an end of it. Unkind people have said that the intention of the Government was not to satisfy the aspirations of the educated class but to exclude them from the Councils under the cover of a misnamed "reforms". Sir Harvey is naturally shocked at so gross an imputation against ...
... Remember Sir Harvey? His lamentations on the Yugan-tar? Well, he was always strong on the 'seditious' press, in other words, the organs of anti-bureaucratic Nationalism. Lambasting the Scottish official's slander of such publications, which he said had "discovered that sedition is a commercial success," Sri Aurobindo wrote in the Bande Mataram's columns : "Fudge, Sir Harvey! If you could be... Nationalist newspaper for the first year or two of its existence, you would 'discover' at what tremendous pecuniary and personal sacrifice these papers have been established and maintained. If Sir Harvey knew anything about the conditions of life in the land he is helping to misgovern, he would know that an Indian newspaper, unless it is Page 372 long established, and sometimes even... even then, can command immense influence and yet be commercially no more than able to pay its way, especially when on principle it debars itself from taking all but Swadeshi advertisements. Fudge, Sir Harvey! The Nationalists are not shopkeepers trading in the misery of the millions; they are men like Upadhyay and Bepin Chandra Pal and numbers more who have put from them all the ordinary chances of life ...
... At that time there was a flourishing commerce between Tuticorin and Colombo; this was entirely the monopoly of the British India Steam Navigation Company (BISN) and its Tuticorin agents, A. & F. Harvey. Influenced by Sri Aurobindo's call for Boycott, VOC advocated that the Indians should boycott foreign goods especially the British and encourage local products or 'swadeshi' goods. This... towards bankruptcy. Conflict with the British VOC's efforts to widen the base of the Swadeshi Movement by mobilising the workers of the Coral Mills, also managed by A. & F. Harvey, accentuated the confrontation. In the Nationalist Movement, he backed Bal Gangadhar Tilak. He led a contingent (which included the poet Subramaniam Bharati) from the Madras Presidency to the Surat ...
... Page 34 to be an inexorable long and yet Harvey treats it as a short. Sidney's draws from him the pertinent query: By what classical rule can the first syllable of "woman's" be regarded as long? By stress alone and not either by intrinsic or indirect dwelling of the voice does it acquire length. Quantity, with Sidney and Harvey, seems fickle and it does not serve any vital purpose: ...
... the entire abandonment of the quantitative principle. Spenser in his experiments used all his sovereign capacity to force English verse into an unnatural classical mould, Sidney followed his example. Harvey thought, rightly enough, that an adaptation to the natural rhythm of English was indispensable, but he failed to take more than a first step towards the right path; after him, those who followed his... length valid for any rhythm which is native to the language. To find out what does constitute true quantity is the first need, only then can there be any solution of the difficulty. Tennyson, like Harvey, missed this necessity; he was content to fuse long syllable and stress and manage carefully his short quantities conceived according to the classical law; this he did admirably, but two or three efforts ...
... The Milk of Putana 01-April-1908 A spirit of conciliation is evident in some of the recent acts of the bureaucracy, such as the separation of Judicial and Executive of which Sir Harvey Adamson has given the details in his speech in Council. The policy of Sir Sydenham Clarke in Bombay is of the same type, and from the Mofussil we hear of politician Magistrates who are busy re-establishing ...
... × In the Latin metre accent and quantity coincide in the last two feet but not in the earlier four feet; the Harvey type of hexameter has been criticised for not following this rule, but the writers had no choice,—to do otherwise would have brought in the conflict between stress and quantity which for the reason ...
... Clough at their ordinary level, it is the low even tone without relief, the repetition of a semi-trochaic jog-trot or a smooth unvarying canter, the beat of tame dactyls, that gives this impression. In Harvey or similar writers it is the constrained artificial treatment of the metre that enforces a treadmill labour. But this is not the true hexameter movement; the true movement is a swift stream or a large ...

... “Try the experiment and find out whether what I have said agrees with the thing itself.” (Formerly, anatomy lessons consisted mainly in reading passages from Galen as comments by dissections.) William Harvey (1578-1657), who discovered the circulation of the blood, wrote: “I do not profess to learn and teach anatomy from the axioms of the philosophers, but [directly] from dissections and from the fabrick ...

... very word "garden": "Paradise," says G. B. Caird, 238 "is a Persian word meaning park or garden, which was taken over, first into Greek, then into Hebrew." The second suggestion comes out with A.
