“Yet of course the link with the (nondeictic) abstract noun is not completely severed; it survives at the semantic level, where it gives point and meaning to all that might be said about Lady Truth. And this, in my view, gives the personification an ambivalent quality which an imaginative writer — such as Langland — can use for complex effects, by playing off against each other the two roles of the noun, its role as generalising abstraction, and its role as the name of an individual.” — Jill Mann, Langland and Allegory, p. 3.
