enjoy
In the old sense of wonder, admire is practically obsolete; the word now expresses a delight and approval, in which the element of wonder unconsciously mingles. We admire beauty in nature and art, delight in the innocent happiness of children, enjoy books or society, a walk or a dinner. We approve what is excellent, applaud heroic deeds, esteem the good, love our friends. We honor and respect noble character wherever found; we revere and venerate it in the aged. We extol the goodness and adore the majesty and power of God.
Synonyms:
admire, adore, applaud, approve, delight in, esteem, esteem, extol, honor, love, respect, revere, venerate, wonderAntonyms:
abhor, abominate, contemn, despise, detest, dislike, execrate, hate, ridicule, scornPreposition:
Admire at may still very rarely be found in the old sense of wonder at.

In my life for me to enjoy
Since I was a little bitty boy -
And there’s good things to enjoy,
Children playin’ in the park,
A girl for every boy, -
Don’t want a doll, no dinkey tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy -
A starving actress and a starstruck boy
Oh well, I might as well enjoy -
There isn’t a boy
Who won’t enjoy

-
Or on some distant fair your notes employ,
And speak of raptures that you ne’er enjoy. -
Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ,
His wife he cabin’d with him and his boy,
And seem’d that life laborious to enjoy: -
Thou dost innocently enjoy;
Nor does thy luxury destroy. -
And yet I have a strapping boy
Who
Would to its full extent enjoy -
There was naught I did not dare or enjoy,
In the magic world of a dreaming boy!
