Nor spared a useless, though a golden line.

2. Inclined to sentiment; having an excess of sentiment or
sensibility; indulging the sensibilities for their own
sake; artificially or affectedly tender; -- often in a
reproachful sense.

A sentimental mind is rather prone to overwrought
feeling and exaggerated tenderness. --Whately.

Syn: Romantic.

Usage: {Sentimental}, {Romantic}. Sentimental usually
describes an error or excess of the sensibilities;
romantic, a vice of the imagination. The votary of the
former gives indulgence to his sensibilities for the
mere luxury of their excitement; the votary of the
latter allows his imagination to rove for the pleasure
of creating scenes of ideal enjoiment. ``Perhaps there
is no less danger in works called sentimental. They
attack the heart more successfully, because more
cautiously.'' --V. Knox. ``I can not but look on an
indifferency of mind, as to the good or evil things of
this life, as a mere romantic fancy of such who would
be thought to be much wiser than they ever were, or
could be.'' --Bp. Stillingfleet.
