130. We often hear in spoken English expressions like these:—
There isn't one here ‸ knows how to play ball.
There was such a crowd ‸ went, the house was full.
Here the omitted relative would be in the nominative case. Also in literary English we find the same omission. It is rare in prose, and comparatively so in poetry. Examples are,—
The silent truth that it was she was superior.—Thackeray
I have a mind presages me such thrift.—Shakespeare.
There is a nun in Dryburgh bower,
Ne'er looks upon the sun.
—Scott.
And you may gather garlands there
Would grace a summer queen.
—Id.
'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.—Campbell.
