Noun

Not desire, but its surcease .

It is time that there were an end and surcease made of this immodest and deformed manner of writing.

For the individual who wishes to live in his time, to be a part of the future, the super-industrial revolution offers no surcease from change.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore —
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore —
Nameless here for evermore.
