English aestheticism would probably disown any religious intention, although it has been accused of a refined interest in Pan and Venus; but in all its feudal sympathies it goes along with the religious art and vestment revival, the return to symbolic ceremonies, monastic vigils, and sisterhoods.
Mayday afternoon in Oxford Street, and Felix Freeland, a little late, on his way from Hampstead to his brother John's house in Porchester Gardens. Felix Freeland, author, wearing the very first gray top hat of the season. A compromise, that like many other things in his life and works between individuality and the accepted view of things, aestheticism and fashion, the critical sense and authority.
Art died in Italy, and the subject had not yet appeared; and at the end of the sixteenth century the first painters of the great Dutch school were born, and before 1650 a new school, entirely original, having nothing in common with anything that had gone before, had formulated its aestheticism and produced masterpieces.
Qualities hitherto but little known, and generally despised not, as we shall see, without some reason were developed in them. Self-consciousness, aestheticism, a dislike for waste, a hatred of injustice; these or some one of these, when coupled with that desire natural to men throughout all ages to accomplish something constituted the motive forces which enabled them to work their bellows.

The office was hung with original drawings of the covers of the firm's three publications The Household Review, The Household Magazine, and The Child at Home.
Suppose that any cool and cynical art-critic, any art-critic fully impressed with the conviction that artists were greatest when they were most purely artistic, suppose that a man who professed ably a humane aestheticism, as did Mr. Max Beerbohm, or a cruel aestheticism, as did Mr.
In Dingelstedt's account I recognize two things: his friendly disposition towards me, with which he has been inspired by you, and his most absolute incapability, with all his aestheticism, of conceiving the slightest notion of what had to be conceived.
