greater (adj.)
O, who can hold a fire in his hand
By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?
Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite
By bare imagination of a feast?
Or wallow naked in December snow
By thinking on fantastic summer's heat?
O, no! the apprehension of the good
Gives but the greater feeling to the worse.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
A long train of these practices has at length unwillingly convinced me that there is something behind the throne greater than the King himself.
