ivy never sere, I come to pluck your berries harsh and crude.
Milton.
More and more, with continual increase. "Amon trespassed more and
more." 2 Chron. xxxiii. 23. - - The more, to a greater degree; by an
added quantity; for a reason already specified. -- The more -- the
more, by how much more -- by so much more. "The more he praised it in
himself, the more he seems to suspect that in very deed it was not in
him." Milton. -- To be no more, to have ceased to be; as, Cassius is no
more; Troy is no more.
Those oracles which set the world in flames, Nor ceased to burn
till kingdoms were no more.
