I need not explain that silk is originally spun from the bowels of a caterpillar, and that it composes the golden tomb, from whence a worm emerges in the form of a butterfly.

GLASS IN HAND! There is a magic in the phrase. It means more than all the words in the dictionary can be made to mean. It is a habit of mind to which I have been trained all my life. It is now part of the stuff that composes me.

Man alone is gifted with the perfect organs which render real pleasure peculiar to him; because, being, endowed with the sublime faculty of reason, he foresees enjoyment, looks for it, composes, improves, and increases it by thought and recollection.

It is of course to be understood that each circle is composed of a set of inferior circles: for example, a set of TRIBE circles composes an ORDER; a set of ORDER circles, again, forms a CLASS; and so on.

Muzio Clementi, the Earliest Virtuoso, strictly speaking, as a Pianist. Born in Rome in 1752. Scion of an Artistic Family. First Musical Training. Rapid Development of his Talents. Composes Contrapuntal Works at the Age of Fourteen. Early Studies of the Organ and Harpsichord. Goes to England to complete his Studies. Creates an Unequaled Furore in London. John Christian Bach's Opinion of Clementi.

"He knows all languages perfectly: sings deliciously: plays every instrument: composes operas which have been acted a thousand nights running at the Imperial Theatre of Crim Tartary, and danced in a ballet there before the King and Queen; in which he looked so beautiful, that his cousin, the lovely daughter of the King of Circassia, died for love of him."

To speak disrespectfully of him is to insult personally every lady who composes it. In company, though none are "free," yet all are "equal." All therefore whom you meet, should be treated with equal respect, although interest may dictate toward each different degrees of attention. It is disrespectful to the inviter to shun any of her guests.

In fact she is much superior to this extravagance, this vagueness, this presumptuous balderdash. Is it very likely that Madame Sand will always find the same charm in what she now composes? Will not the merit and the enthusiasm of twenty lose their value in her mind as the works of my first days are depreciated in mine?

I next strolled through the lane which composes the town, and is occupied by a succession of bar-rooms, dancing-shops, and faro-banks or roulette-tables: they were each in full operation, although it was not yet two o'clock P.M. These dens all stood open to the street, and were more obscene in their appointments than the lowest of the itinerant hells found at our races.

The woman he loves enters into every one of these senses and thus is impounded five-fold upon that union of all of them, which, together with the miracle of mind, composes what we call the human soul as a divine essence. She is attached to every religion, yet enters with authority into none. She is first at its birth, the last to stay weeping at its death.
