   Synonym of Carolean (“relating to the time of Kings Charles I and II of England or Charles III of the United Kingdom, or of the kings themselves”).

   For that poem, though in certain ‘strange and high’ qualities it is the inferior of the best jets of the Caroline genius, is one of the most faultless and perfect things in this or indeed in any period of English poetry, and may be said to impart the Caroline essence in a form that can be (in the medical sense) ‘borne’ by all who have any feeling for poetry at all, as hardly anything else does.

sustantivo

   Synonym of Carolean.

   The shooting star, which dissolved on reaching earth into dew or ‘jelly’, is very common with Carolines.

nombre propio

1. 1

   A female given name from the Germanic languages.

   - - - gentle Sophias milk your cows, and if you ask a pretty smiling girl at a cottage door to tell you her name, the rosy lips lisp out Caroline.

   Bankman-Fried’s confidants were along for the ride. At his side was Caroline Ellison, Alameda’s CEO and his on-again, off-again lover.
