/mi/ Listen

pronoun

I pron. (nominative I possessive my or mine, objective me, plural nominative we, plural possessive our or ours, plural objective us) The nominative case of the pronoun of the first person; the word with which a speaker or writer denotes himself.

Me pron. One. See Men, pron. (Obs.)

Me pron. The person speaking, regarded as an object; myself; a pronoun of the first person used as the objective and dative case of the pronoum I; as, he struck me; he gave me the money, or he gave the money to me; he got me a hat, or he got a hat for me. Note: In methinks, me is properly in the dative case, and the verb is impersonal, the construction being, it appears to me. In early use me was often placed before forms of the verb to be with an adjective; as, me were lief. "Me rather had my heart might frrl your love Than my unpleased eye see your courtesy."

One may emerge from the bosom of our unconscious thoughts without fully entering upon the stage of conscious perception; another dies away in unconsciousness, leaving no successor to take its place. Between the "me" of to-day and the "me" of yesterday lie night and sleep, abysses of unconsciousness; nor is there any bridge but memory with which to span them. Who can hope after this to disentangle the infinite intricacy of our inner life? ...
