The High Speech

#synonymiser
Good day to all! In this post, I will ponder words with the meaning of premonition. There will be several words with contextual examples from different literary sources, as they are good for such quite poetic lexis. I have preserved the original punctuation, so do not be confused by some unconventional omissions and usages of punctiation markers.

Hope you will embelish your speech with this one.😉

🔸foreboding – предзнаменование, плохое предчувствие
▫️Then Turambar said farewell to Níniel, and she was filled with fear and foreboding, and their parting was sorrowful; but Turambar set out with his two companions and went to Nen Girith. (J. R. R. Tolkien – The Silmarillion)
▫️Therefore he feared the tidings that Dorlas brought, and when he beheld the face of Túrin as he lay on the bier a cloud of foreboding lay on his heart. (J. R. R. Tolkien – The Silmarillion)

🔸portent – плохое предзнаменование
▫️"There!" he said, "there! I knew there was something wro...." He checked himself, and was silent, staring before him, as though he had seen a portent. ( John Galsworthy – The Forsyte Saga)
▫️Fitz Patton's smart sound design and Josh Schmidt's moody music work together to heighten the sense of portent. (The New York Times)

🔸premonition – плохое предчувствие
▫️After the alarm sounded in the underground, people began to have a premonition of a coming hurricane.
▫️He had prepared well for the exam but the premonition that he could fail it did not leave him.
▫️The complainant party had solid arguments in their favour, but the premonition of losing the case haunted them until the end of the trial.

🔸presentiment – предчувствие чего-то плохого
▫️He had a presentiment on the subject of Soames' communication as they left the Board Room together, and went out into the noise and hurry of Cheapside. (John Galsworthy – The Forsyte Saga)
▫️He had been ill for a while, and the "aerial flowers" were a presentiment of death, though the sun paintings refer to eternal cycles of nature and rebirth. (The Guardian – Arts)
▫️As one contemporary newspaper noted, in many citizens this shading of the sun awakened "a kind of vague fear, of impending danger – a prophetic presentiment of some approaching catastrophe". (The New York Times – Books)
🔸omen – a perceived sign of something a good or bad to happen in the future
▫️Miners belive in omens, and any guidance they can find will do. (The New York Times – Books)
▫️The name gives a sense of longevity, he said, that he hoped would be a good omen for the future. (The New York Times)
▫️The omens are good: at the beginning of this month there was half a metre of snow at the top of many northern Alpine ski areas, and the high-altitude Colorado resort of Loveland had already wheeled out its portable snow cannons in anticipation of temperatures low enough to permit snowmaking.
