<blockquote>Novel lays attract our ravished ears; But old, the mind <b>inattention</b> hears. <i>Pope.</i></blockquote>

<syn>Syn. -- Inadvertence; heedlessness; negligence; carelessness; disregard; remissness; thoughtlessness; neglect. -- <er>Inattention</er>, <er>Inadvertence</er>. We miss seeing a thing through <i>inadvertence</i> when <i>do not happen to look at</i> it; through <i>inattention</i> when we <i>give no heed to</i> it, though directly before us. The latter is therefore the worse. <i>Inadvertence</i> may be an involuntary accident; <i>inattention</i> is culpable neglect. A versatile mind is often <i>inadvertent</i>; a careless or stupid one is <i>inattentive</i>.</syn>
