Sentences with PARTICIPLE (5)
This form of expression is now for the most part obsolete, the a being omitted and the verbal substantive treated as a participle.
The French equivalent in adjectives reaches no further than the adjective itself--or hardly; it does not attain the participle; so that no French or Italian poet has the words "unloved", "unforgiven." None such, therefore, has the opportunity of the gravest and the most majestic of all ironies.
Yet on the other hand the least difference of meaning or the least change of form from a substantive to an adjective, or from a participle to a verb, will often remedy the unpleasant effect.
The participle may also have the character of an adjective, the adverb either of an adjective or of a preposition.
The accent is not an English sign, and, to my mind, disfigures the verse; neither do I think it necessary to cut off the _e_ with an apostrophe when the participle is shortened.

A gloriously colored and wonderful map, the sort one often sees framed and hanging on the wall in a study full of plush chairs and stained-glass lamps: painstakingly lettered, researched down to the last pebble and participle, drawn with dash and flair, with cloud-goddesses in the corners and giant squid squirming up out of the sea...[T]here are more maps in the world than anyone can count. Every person draws a map that shows themselves at the center.
