OSTENTATION AND APPLICATION
Ostentation is to application as dressing up is to dressing down.
One displays glorious feathers, the other's rarely leave the ground.
While ostentation files petitions, application takes the prize; being resolute in its renditions, yet rarely one to patronize.
One accedes to civil rightness, the other engages civil wrong; one dazzles the public's eyesight, its opposite is seldom known.
