From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or
      hillock, the application arising from the frequent
      resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or
      air.]
      1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,
            suspended in the upper atmosphere.
  
                     I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.
  
      Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief
               forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,
               and this is still substantially employed. The following
               varieties and subvarieties are recognized:
            (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms
                  of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like
                  carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,
                  sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is
                  the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of
                  the landsman.
            (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a
                  hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat
                  below, one often piled above another, forming great
                  clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the
                  appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It
                  often affords rain and thunder gusts.
            (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands
                  extending horizontally.
            (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform
                  gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in
                  seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and
                  is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used
                  to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.
            (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,
                  of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are
                  more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is
                  popularly called mackerel sky.
            (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus
                  coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.
            (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,
                  often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.
                  -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near
                  or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm
                  scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven
                  rapidly with the wind.
  
      2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling
            vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.
  
      3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;
            hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's
            reputation; a cloud on a title.
  
      4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;
            that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or
            depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud
            upon the intellect.
  
      5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So
            great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.
  
      6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the
            head.
  
      {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,
            usually superficial and capable of removal by release,
            decision in equity, or legislation.
  
      {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;
            to be in disfavor.
  
      {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond
            reason; visionary.

      {At fault}, unable to find the scent and continue chase;

      Syn: -- Error; blemish; defect; imperfection; weakness;
               blunder; failing; vice.
  
      Usage: {Fault}, {Failing}, {Defect}, {Foible}. A fault is
                  positive, something morally wrong; a failing is
                  negative, some weakness or falling short in a man's
                  character, disposition, or habits; a defect is also
                  negative, and as applied to character is the absence
                  of anything which is necessary to its completeness or
                  perfection; a foible is a less important weakness,
                  which we overlook or smile at. A man may have many
                  failings, and yet commit but few faults; or his faults
                  and failings may be few, while his foibles are obvious
                  to all. The faults of a friend are often palliated or
                  explained away into mere defects, and the defects or
                  foibles of an enemy exaggerated into faults. [bd]I
                  have failings in common with every human being,
                  besides my own peculiar faults; but of avarice I have
                  generally held myself guiltless.[b8] --Fox.

      akshi. [root]10, 212. Cf. {Diasy}, {Ocular}, {Optic},
      {Eyelet}, {Ogle}.]
      1. The organ of sight or vision. In man, and the vertebrates
            generally, it is properly the movable ball or globe in the
            orbit, but the term often includes the adjacent parts. In
            most invertebrates the years are immovable ocelli, or
            compound eyes made up of numerous ocelli. See {Ocellus}.
            Description of illustration: a b Conjunctiva; c Cornea; d
            Sclerotic; e Choroid; f Cillary Muscle; g Cillary Process;
            h Iris; i Suspensory Ligament; k Prosterior Aqueous
            Chamber between h and i; l Anterior Aqueous Chamber; m
            Crystalline Lens; n Vitreous Humor; o Retina; p Yellow
            spot; q Center of blind spot; r Artery of Retina in center
            of the Optic Nerve.
  
      Note: The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough
               outer coat, the sclerotic, to which the muscles moving
               it are attached, and which in front changes into the
               transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the
               crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into
               two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled
               with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one
               behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.
               The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented
               membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the
               back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent
               retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.
               The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which
               has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,
               admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a
               focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the
               light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and
               cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic
               nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
  
      2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,
            judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of

      4. The space commanded by the organ of sight; scope of
            vision; hence, face; front; the presence of an object

   Heart \Heart\, n. [OE. harte, herte, heorte, AS. heorte; akin to
      OS. herta, OFies. hirte, D. hart, OHG. herza, G. herz, Icel.

      1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting
            rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
  
                     Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
  
      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
               completely separated from the left auricle and
               ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic
               veins to the right auricle, thence to the right
               ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then
               returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left
               ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic
               arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there
               are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being
               pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the
               system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most
               amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles
               is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles
               also are separated more or less completely. The
               so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,
               reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump
               the lymph into the veins.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Eye \Eye\, n. [OE. eghe, eighe, eie, eye, AS. e[a0]ge; akin to
      OFries. [be]ge, OS. [?]ga, D. oog, Ohg. ouga, G. auge, Icel.
      auga, Sw. [94]ga, Dan. [94]ie, Goth. aug[?]; cf. OSlav. oko,
      Lish. akis, L. okulus, Gr. [?], eye, [?], the two eyes, Skr.
      akshi. [root]10, 212. Cf. {Diasy}, {Ocular}, {Optic},
      {Eyelet}, {Ogle}.]
      1. The organ of sight or vision. In man, and the vertebrates
            generally, it is properly the movable ball or globe in the
            orbit, but the term often includes the adjacent parts. In
            most invertebrates the years are immovable ocelli, or
            compound eyes made up of numerous ocelli. See {Ocellus}.
            Description of illustration: a b Conjunctiva; c Cornea; d
            Sclerotic; e Choroid; f Cillary Muscle; g Cillary Process;
            h Iris; i Suspensory Ligament; k Prosterior Aqueous
            Chamber between h and i; l Anterior Aqueous Chamber; m
            Crystalline Lens; n Vitreous Humor; o Retina; p Yellow
            spot; q Center of blind spot; r Artery of Retina in center
            of the Optic Nerve.
  
      Note: The essential parts of the eye are inclosed in a tough
               outer coat, the sclerotic, to which the muscles moving
               it are attached, and which in front changes into the
               transparent cornea. A little way back of cornea, the
               crystalline lens is suspended, dividing the eye into
               two unequal cavities, a smaller one in front filled
               with a watery fluid, the aqueous humor, and larger one
               behind filled with a clear jelly, the vitreous humor.
               The sclerotic is lined with a highly pigmented
               membrane, the choroid, and this is turn is lined in the
               back half of the eyeball with the nearly transparent
               retina, in which the fibers of the optic nerve ramify.
               The choroid in front is continuous with the iris, which
               has a contractile opening in the center, the pupil,
               admitting light to the lens which brings the rays to a
               focus and forms an image upon the retina, where the
               light, falling upon delicate structures called rods and
               cones, causes them to stimulate the fibres of the optic
               nerve to transmit visual impressions to the brain.
  
      2. The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence,
            judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of
            objects; as, to have the eye of sailor; an eye for the
            beautiful or picturesque.
  
      3. The action of the organ of sight; sight, look; view;

   Heart \Heart\, n. [OE. harte, herte, heorte, AS. heorte; akin to
      OS. herta, OFies. hirte, D. hart, OHG. herza, G. herz, Icel.
      hjarta, Sw. hjerta, Goth. ha[a1]rt[?], Lith. szirdis, Russ.

      1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting
            rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
  
                     Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
  
      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
               completely separated from the left auricle and
               ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic
               veins to the right auricle, thence to the right
               ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then
               returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left
               ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic
               arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there
               are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being
               pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the
               system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most
               amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles
               is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles
               also are separated more or less completely. The
               so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,
               reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump
               the lymph into the veins.

      7. One of a series of playing cards, distinguished by the

   Brain \Brain\, n. [OE. brain, brein, AS. bragen, br[91]gen; akin

            nervous system, and the seat of consciousness and
            volition) which is inclosed in the cartilaginous or bony
            cranium of vertebrate animals. It is simply the anterior
            termination of the spinal cord, and is developed from
            three embryonic vesicles, whose cavities are connected
            with the central canal of the cord; the cavities of the
            vesicles become the central cavities, or ventricles, and
            the walls thicken unequally and become the three segments,
            the fore-, mid-, and hind-brain.
  
      Note: In the brain of man the cerebral lobes, or largest part
               of the forebrain, are enormously developed so as to
               overhang the cerebellum, the great lobe of the
               hindbrain, and completely cover the lobes of the
               midbrain. The surface of the cerebrum is divided into
               irregular ridges, or convolutions, separated by grooves
               (the so-called fissures and sulci), and the two
               hemispheres are connected at the bottom of the
               longitudinal fissure by a great transverse band of
               nervous matter, the corpus callosum, while the two
