Let us not desert one another; we are an injured body. Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried.
Our approach to the city was marked by the blocks of sculptured marble that lined the way: elegant mouldings, cornices, and entablatures, thrown together with common stone to make walls between the fields. The village is built on both sides of the Rhyndacus; it is an ordinary Turkish hamlet, with tiled roofs and chimneys, and exhibits very few of the remains of the old city in its composition.
The balance of equal measures—seen in his “Sistine Madonna,” is conspicuous in most ecclesiastical pictures of that period, notably the “Last Supper of Leonardo” in which two groups of three persons each are posed on either side of the pivotal figure. This has become the standard arrangement for all classical balanced composition in pictorial decoration.
As he sat in his office on the following Thursday morning, the whistle of the speaking-tube sounded shrilly and interrupted him in the act of composition. He went angrily to the tube. "What do you want to interrupt me for," he called, "when you know I'm busy? What the devil do you want, anyway?" "I want you, Lukie," said a gentle voice in reply. "Come up at once," he said. "Awfully sorry.
His bare enumeration of the deeds of sacrilege and violence loses little by its brevity, and, when he has ended the list of his accusations against the men of Gishkhu, he curses the goddess to whose influence he attributes their success. No composition at all like this document has yet been recovered, and as it is not very long we may here give a translation of the text.
That, while the Mogul government was in its vigor, the property of zemindars was held sacred, and that, either by voluntary grant from the said Mogul or by composition with him, the native Hindoos were left in the free, quiet, and undisturbed possession of their lands, on the single condition of paying a fixed, certain, and unalterable revenue, or quit-rent, to the Mogul government.
His theory of the lever was the foundation of statics, till the discovery of the composition of forces in the time of Newton, and no essential addition was made to the principles of the equilibrium of fluids and floating bodies till the time of Stevin in 1608.
"The ladies have secrets! May one not be initiated?" "No, not at all!" replied Maren. "You have manuscript poems in the little book!" said Otto, and boldly approached. "Perhaps of your own composition?" "O, it is only a memorandum-book," said Maren, blushing. "When I read anything pretty I copy it, for we cannot keep the books." "Then I may see it!" said Otto. His eye fell upon the written sheet:
Five minutes later Diana was in her dressing-room, where she wrote at night, on the rare occasions now when she was left free for composition. She did not accuse her marriage of being the first fatal step: her error was the step into Society without the wherewithal to support her position there. Girls of her kind, airing their wings above the sphere of their birth, are cryingly adventuresses.
Unfortunately the faces are much decayed and perhaps the figures may be rather wanting in repose, and yet even in their decay they are very beautiful pieces of work, and show that João de Ruão if he it was who carved them was as able to design a large composition as to carve a small pulpit.
