<blockquote>And then it is for the image's sake and so far is <b>intransitive</b>; but whatever is paid more to the image is transitive and passes further. <i>Jer. Taylor.</i></blockquote>

<note>&hand; <i>Intransitive</i> verbs have no passive form. Some verbs which appear at first sight to be <i>intransitive</i> are in reality, or were originally, <i>transitive</i> verbs with a reflexive or other object omitted; as, he <i>keeps</i> (<it>i. e.</it>, himself) aloof from danger. <i>Intransitive</i> verbs may take a noun of kindred signification for a cognate object; as, he <i>died</i> the <i>death</i> of a hero; he <i>dreamed</i> a <i>dream</i>. Some <i>intransitive</i> verbs, by the addition of a preposition, become <i>transitive</i>, and so admit of a passive voice; as, the man <i>laughed at</i>; he <i>was laughed at</i> by the man.</note>
