“Cant” (KANT) – from the Latin for singing/chanting – is empty, insincere talk, implying what is not felt.

Example (as used by Benita Eisler in Byron: Child of Passion, Fool of Fame): “[Lord Byron's poem] Don Juan delighted London gossipmongers with plentiful allusions to the scandal surrounding the poet’s divorce from his young wife of one year and his subsequent flight from English ‘hypocrisy and cant.’”

Testimonials

  • It was a nudge into looking at life in a fresh way

    “I recently read Michael Masterson’s article on golfing with his son. The message became very important because it was a nudge into looking at life in a fresh way. It is really amazing how routine we are. I keep a notebook now. Every day, I pluck out some incident to write about. It’s great. Thanks for the nudge Michael.”
