Seite 72 - They have no connection ; and every effort that you make to reason from one to the other will blunt your sense of beauty, or confuse it with sensations altogether inferior to it. You were made for enjoyment, and the world was filled with things which you will enjoy, unless you are too proud to be pleased by them, or too grasping to care for what you cannot turn to other account than mere delight. Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless ; peacocks and lilies for instance...
Seite 432 - I have many good friends among the Italians who warn me not to eat or drink with their painters, of whom several are my enemies, and copy my picture in the church, and others of mine, wherever they can find them, and yet they blame them, and say they are not according to ancient art, and therefore not ijowl.
Seite 406 - I have kept you too long from your gondola : come with me, on an autumnal morning, through the dark gates of Padua, and let us take the broad road leading towards the East. It lies level, for a league or two, between its elms, and vine festoons full laden, their thin leaves veined into scarlet hectic, and their clusters deepened into gloomy blue ; then mounts an embankment above the Brenta, and runs between the river and the broad plain, which stretches to the north in endless lines of mulberry and...
Seite 432 - One might have put this man under a pix, and left him, one should have thought ; but he has been brought forward, and partly received, as an example of the effect of ceremonial splendour on the mind of a great architect. It is very necessary, therefore, that all those who have felt sorrow at this should know at once that he is not a great architect, but one of the smallest possible or conceivable architects ; and that by his own account and setting forth of himself.
Seite 432 - But of all these fatuities, the basest is the being lured into the Romanist Church by the glitter of it, like larks into a trap by broken glass ; to be blown into a change of religion by the whine of an organ-pipe ; stitched into a new creed by gold threads on priests' petticoats ; jangled into a change of conscience by the chimes of a belfry.
Seite 413 - Now we can see nothing but what seems a low and monotonous dockyard wall, with flat arches to let the tide through it ; — this is the railroad bridge, conspicuous above all things. But at the end of those dismal arches there rises, out of the wide water, a straggling line of low and confused brick buildings, which, but for the many towers which are mingled among them, might be the suburbs of an English manufacturing town. Four or five domes, pale, and apparently at a greater distance...
Seite 303 - Thy creatures leap not, but express a feast, Where all the guests sit close, and nothing wants. Frogs marry fish and flesh ; bats, bird and beast ; Sponges, non-sense and sense ; mines, the earth and plants.
Seite 12 - Be mine the blessings of a peaceful reign. No more my sons shall dye with British blood Red Iber's sands, or Ister's foaming flood : Safe on my shore each unmolested swain Shall tend the flocks, or reap the bearded grain...
Seite 401 - Raffaelle's that the artist's object was to make things not as Nature makes them, but as she would make them ; as she ever tries to make them, but never succeeds, though her aim may be deduced from a comparison of her effects; just as if a number of archers had aimed unsuccessfully at a mark upon a wall, and this mark were then removed, we could by the examination of their arrowmarks point out the probable position of the spot aimed at, with a certainty of being nearer to it than any of their shots.
Seite 56 - I had always, however, a clear conviction that there was a law in this matter : that good architecture might be indisputably discerned and divided from the bad ; that the opposition in their very nature and essence was clearly visible ; and that we were all of us just as unwise in disputing about the matter without reference to principle, as we should be for debating about the genuineness of a coin without ringing it.
