Neglect
A wise and salutary neglect.
Burke—Speech on the Conciliation of America. Vol. II. P. 117. 1
Give me a look, give me a face, That makes simplicity a grace: Robes loosely flowing, hair as free; Such sweet neglect more taketh me Than all the adulteries of art; They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
Ben Jonson—The Silent Woman. Act I. Sc. 1. 1
His noble negligences teach What others' toils despair to reach.
Prior—Alma. Canto II. L. 7.
