punctum

1 The word counterpoint comes from the three words "punctus contra punctum," meaning "point against point."

2 The right lachrymal punctum is blocked; the tears run down the cheek; and I failed to get even a hair-thick wire into it.

3 To the fancy alone it is the null-point, or zero, but to the reason it is the punctum saliens, and the power itself in its eminence.

4 The main punctum of the photo is not necessarily in the center of the frame.

5 Another method of denoting the mutation was to write a dot over the letter, originally the punctum delens, which was justified in the case of mutated f as the latter early became silent.

6 The tears, entering the canal at its punctum, are carried along till they pass out at the fistulous opening.

7 The gentle flow is spread evenly across the eye by blinking and is eventually drained by two small openings at the inner corner of the eye — the superior lacrimal punctum and the inferior lacrimal punctum.

8 “In my opinion, colors can often distract the viewers from the main focus of the image, or rather ‘the punctum’ as Roland Barthes defined it.”

12 The physiologist's investigations seem to have interested King Charles, for he had several exhibitions made of the punctum saliens in the embryo chick, and also witnessed dissections from time to time.

13 The punctum of the photographs coming out of Ukraine is different from that carried by photographs of recent wars and disasters in Syria, Haiti and Myanmar.

14 Roland Barthes has a book on photography, and he talks about the concept of the punctum — the thing in a photo that just draws you instantly as an individual.

15 Besides, that punctum stans, if it signify anything, being not quantum, finite or infinite cannot belong to it.

16 The punctum of these images is not difference, but sameness, and that seems to bring the horror of war more efficiently to the foreground.

17 Luther was no respecter of kings; he was so fortunate, indeed, as to find among his antagonists a crowned head; a great good fortune for an obscure controversialist, and the very punctum saliens of controversy.

19 But in this and the foregoing classes, as being still near the common equator, or the punctum indifferentiæ, the carbonic principle still asserts its claims, and the force of reproduction struggles with that of irritability.
