      Usage: When used as a word of praise, fine (being opposed to
                  coarse) denotes no [bd]ordinary thing of its kind.[b8]
                  It is not as strong as beautiful, in reference to the
                  single attribute implied in the latter term; but when
                  we speak of a fine woman, we include a greater variety
                  of particulars, viz., all the qualities which become a
                  woman, -- breeding, sentiment, tact, etc. The term is
                  equally comprehensive when we speak of a fine garden,
                  landscape, horse, poem, etc.; and, though applied to a
                  great variety of objects, the word has still a very
                  definite sense, denoting a high degree of
                  characteristic excellence.
