الصفحة 20 - I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally, And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley. By thirty hills I hurry down, Or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorps, a little town, And half a hundred bridges.
الصفحة 20 - Now, Lycidas, the Shepherds weep no more; Henceforth thou art the Genius of the shore, In thy large recompense, and shalt be good To all that wander in that perilous flood.
الصفحة 20 - And purple all the ground with vernal flowers. Bring the rathe primrose that forsaken dies, The tufted crow-toe, and pale jessamine, The white pink, and the pansy freaked with jet, The glowing violet, The musk-rose, and the well-attired woodbine, With cowslips wan that hang the pensive head, And every flower that sad embroidery wears; Bid amaranthus all his beauty shed, And daffodillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the laureate hearse where Lycid lies.
الصفحة 67 - This is fundamental, it is that which underlies beauty, and comes out in it. The second was stated to be unity in variety, or, more simply, unity. This is not something in addition to expression, but the method of that expression, that without which expression itself is not beautiful. The third is now given as truth. This again is subordinate to, and modifies,' the expression; unity was its method, truth is its means. It is utterance through natural and real, not through artificial and arbitrary...
الصفحة 8 - ... number four in alone. On the second page, he uses " nor " twice where the conjunction " or " would be better ; and on the third page, he uses " or " in connection with " neither," where he should have used " nor." On the seventh page, he speaks of " the object, beauty," and on the eighth page says, " beauty has no absolute existence, but only exists as the quality or attribute of objects.
الصفحة 8 - Since beauty has no absolute existence, but only exists as the quality or attribute of objects, we shall inquire to what objects it belongs, and what it is in those objects which gives it expression. As the complement of this inquiry, we shall wish to know the organ, the faculty, through which this quality is received by us. Later we shall discuss the principles which determine its presence or absence, and, as a practical application of the truths so established, we shall treat briefly of those arts,...
الصفحة 20 - Ijreezes fanned the belfry bars, As homeward by the church I drew. The very graves appeared to smile, So fresh they rose in shadowed swells; "Dark porch," I said, "and silent aisle, There comes a sound of marriage bells.
الصفحة 231 - Animal life is of so feeble a character, is so little on the surface, is so overlaid with shell and hair and hide, as to make no considerable figure in sculpture, aside from immediate connection with man. On the other hand, the smooth uncovered skin of man, undulatory and minutely expressive, with the soul on the surface, makes higa a fit subject for an art dealing only with the single symbol, form.
الصفحة 112 - Beauty is not, therefore, itself a direct end, but springs up perpetually in the path of benevolent thought as it pursues other ends. It is an additional reward of welldoing, — the flower and the fragrance of the fruit-hearing tree. Like the satisfaction of virtue, it is not the direct object of the act from which it springs, but its inevitable and most pleasing reward.
الصفحة 129 - A distinguished American artist who had resided in Rome for twenty-five years said to me, " The Italians are nasty, filthy, beastly, in morals, as in body." Nude art may not be the cause of this, but is certainly its concomitant. Most of the European cities have a street decency that we should term indecent, and that is quite in keeping with the exposure of their art.
