[ 1913 Webster] The very essence of truth is plainness and brightness. -- Milton. [ 1913 Webster] I looked on the consideration of public service or public ornament to be real and very justice. -- Burke. [ 1913 Webster] Note: Very is sometimes used to make the word with which it is connected emphatic, and may then be paraphrased by same, self- same, itself, and the like. " The very hand, the very words." -- Shak. " The very rats instinctively have quit it." -- Shak. " Yea, there where very desolation dwells." -- Milton. Very is used occasionally in the comparative degree, and more frequently in the superlative. " Was not my lord the verier wag of the two?" -- Shak. " The veriest hermit in the nation." -- Pope. " He had spoken the very truth, and transformed it into the veriest falsehood." -- Hawthorne. [ 1913 Webster] { Very Reverend}. See the Note under { Reverend}. [ 1913 Webster]
