0 a song, film, or piece of writing that praises someone or something very enthusiastically:
The song is a paean to solitude and independence.
But the poem is not merely a paean to nature: it describes the deer which roam the mountain and the huntsman who culls.
Subverting the conventionally gendered economy of vision, this poem celebrates the scopophilic pleasure of women gazing upon the beauty of a woman's body in a paean to female sexuality.
The thricerepeated 'lovely - lovely - lovely' is like a paean miming the hymn of worship 'holy, holy, holy'.
I do not want to sound a paean of triumph over this.
That announcement was received with the same paeans of joy as the statement was received this evening.
That is another paean to the detailed facets of the tax credit.
I do not go along with the unqualified paean of praise which we have just heard.
I am taking part in the debate primarily to deliver a personal paean of praise and a vote of thanks.
