I fancied him, in figure, the very beau-ideal of a runner. During the time the surveyor was speaking, the eye of Susquesus was seemingly fastened on vacancy, and I would have defied the nicest observer to detect any consciousness of what was in hand, in the countenance of this forest stoic.
Several years before the war I remember that my sister, brother, and myself, all young children, drove over to Arlington Mills, and that while going there Colonel Lee rode up on a beautiful black horse. He impressed my childish fancy then as the handsomest and finest horseman I had ever seen the beau-ideal of a soldier.

If it were not for the name of Shakspeare, Hamlet would be set down as nearly the beau-ideal of a snob a combination of the pedantry of James and the unmanliness of Buckingham.

Rubens' second wife, Helena Fourment, to whom he had been married ten years, survived him, a widow at twenty-six years of age Rubens' portrait is even better known than those of his wives, for, as I have said of Raphael in his popularity, Rubens in his life is the beau-ideal of a painter to the many.
'Act. Acad. St. He has even written a treatise on the choice of typical examples of the viscera for representation. A discussion on the beau-ideal of the liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., as of the human face divine, sounds strange in our ears.
This, in addition to a tolerably stiff and unreclaimable brogue, and a style of pronunciation wofully out of keeping with his elegant undress, constituted him the very beau-ideal of what is usually known as a shoneen magistrate.
