Tall \Tall\, a. [Compar. {Taller}; superl. {Tallest}.] [OE. tal       seemly, elegant, docile (?); of uncertain origin; cf.

High in stature; having a considerable, or an unusual,             extension upward; long and comparatively slender; having             the diameter or lateral extent small in proportion to the             height; as, a tall person, tree, or mast.                         Two of far nobler shape, erect and tall. --Milton.          2.

Tall specifically describes that                   which has a small diameter in proportion to its                   height; hence, we speak of a tall man, a tall steeple,                   a tall mast, etc., but not of a tall hill. Lofty has a                   special reference to the expanse above us, and denotes                   an imposing height; as, a lofty mountain; a lofty                   room. Tall is now properly applied only to physical                   objects; high and lofty have a moral acceptation; as,                   high thought, purpose, etc.; lofty aspirations; a                   lofty genius. Lofty is the stronger word, and is                   usually coupled with the grand or admirable.

A supposed material or psychical agent or mode of activity             other than a force, law, or purpose; fortune; fate; -- in             this sense often personified.                         It is strictly and philosophically true in nature                      and reason that there is no such thing as chance or                      accident; it being evident that these words do not                      signify anything really existing, anything that is                      truly an agent or the cause of any event; but they                      signify merely men's ignorance of the real and                      immediate cause.                                 --Samuel                                                                               Clark.                         Any society into which chance might throw him.                                                                               --Macaulay.                         That power Which erring men call Chance. --Milton.          2.

Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2. That which furnishes, or is a source of, light, as the             sun, a star, a candle, a lighthouse, etc.                         Then he called for a light, and sprang in. --Acts                                                                               xvi. 29.                         And God made two great lights; the greater light to                      rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the                      night.                                                --Gen. i. 16.          3.

The brightness of the eye or eyes.                         He seemed to find his way without his eyes; For out                      o' door he went without their helps, And, to the                      last, bended their light on me.         --Shak.          5. The medium through which light is admitted, as a window,             or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the             compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.                         There were windows in three rows, and light was                      against light in three ranks.            --I Kings                                                                               vii.4.          6. Life; existence.                         O, spring to light, auspicious Babe, be born!                                                                               --Pope.          7. Open view; a visible state or condition; public             observation; publicity.                         The duke yet would have dark deeds darkly answered;                      he would never bring them to light.   --Shak.          8. The power of perception by vision.                         My strength faileth me; as for the light of my eyes,                      it also is gone from me.                     --Ps. xxxviii.                                                                               10.          9.

Prosperity; happiness; joy; felicity.                         Then shall thy light break forth as the morning,                      and thy health shall spring forth speedily. --Is.                                                                               lviii. 8.          11.
