18. 13. poiDg, poifirnée, etc. An, matin, soir, etc., are absolute and abstract ; année, matinée, soirée, are relative and concrète. Hence generally it will be possible to qualify the latter, not the former ; you will say une belle mattiiée, une chaude soirée, but you will not generally so qualify matin or soir. Thus again Jour is the space of time cornprised between sunrise and sunset, but Journée does not begin or end with the Jour, it ertends only to the time durine which certain actions, work, are performed. It may be said to embrace what is doue fronL the time one gets up to the time one gets into bed again.

solitaires, forsaken heings, lit. solitary ; together, yet alone.
