the counterfeit time, description of time
Vivid representation of a certain historical or recurring time (such as a season) to create an illusion of reality. A kind of enargia.
According to the old texts and prints of the period, she was a charming creature, unrivaled the world over; in herself she combined the most perfect vices and the most vicious perfections, being a woman in every sense of the word.
Jules Verne, Paris in the Twentieth Century
