For an example of the general system of epicycles drawn from the history of art, look at the school of sculpture which flourished in the last century and took its name from Bernini, more especially at the development of it which prevailed in France.
"It's yours if you want it when I leave." "And I'd have a fine time explaining to my friends! You old innocent! ... Or are you so innocent?" "We do live in a cramped world. But I meant it. Don't forget to whistle down to Tony Bernini when you get back home to-night." "I promise. "Why the gurgle?" "Because I'm tremendously excited. All my life I've wanted to do mysterious things.
These simple plaudits were recalled to his memory with pleasure, in after years, when his fame rung among the polished circles at Rome and Florence. When the Cardinal Barberini, who had been the warm friend, patron, and protector of Bernini, was elevated to the pontificate, the latter went to offer his congratulations to his benefactor.
A break in the trend of thought: she might succeed in getting hold of the puzzle if she could drop it absolutely for a little while and then pick it up again. She had not gone home. She had not notified Bernini. She had checked her luggage in the station parcel room and come directly here. For what?
And it's time I was on the way. I'll let your Tony Bernini know. Home probably at ten." Cutty went with her to the elevator and when he returned to the tea table he sat down without speaking. "Why not kidnap her yourself," suggested Harrison, "if you don't want her in this?" "She would never forgive me." "If she found it out." "She's the kind who would.

The design of the fountain is by some sculptor of the Bernini school, and represents Neptune with his attendant tritons, Health and Abundance. "It is as magnificent a piece of work as ever human skill contrived. At the foot of the palatial façade is strewn, with careful art and ordered irregularity, a broad and broken heap of massive rock, looking as if it might have lain there since the deluge.
The once lavishly decorated interior has suffered much from the Revolutionists. Germain Pilon's Virgin still remains in the chapel L. of the high altar, but the four angels in silver that sustained the hearts of Louis XIII. and XIV., and the noble bronze statues from the mausoleum of the Princes of Condé, admired by Bernini, are only a memory.

When this heartrending business was over she summoned Tony Bernini. "I am going out of town, Mr. Bernini.
A selection is made among them; you reenter the Tribune; five antique statues form a circle here a slave sharpening his knife; two interlocked wrestlers whose muscles are strained and expanded; a charming Apollo of sixteen years whose compact form has all the suppleness of the freshest adolescence; an admirable Faun instinct with the animality of his species, unconsciously joyous and dancing with all his might; and finally, the "Venus de Medici," a slender young girl with a small delicate head, not a goddess like her sister of Milo, but a perfect mortal and the work of some Praxiteles fond of "hetairae," at ease in a nude state and free from that somewhat mawkish delicacy and bashful coquetry which its copies, and the restored arms with their thin fingers by Bernini, seem to impose on her.
