Swift felt so much better about three days later that he wanted to get right to work planning the airship that was to win the big prize, but the doctor would not hear of it. Tom, however, began to make rough sketches of what he had in mind changing them from time to time, He also worked on a type of motor, very light, and modeled after one his father had recently patented.
It has been largely taken for granted that the constructive work in the arts or in music increased one's power of appreciation. That, if a child used color and painted a little picture, or composed a melody, or modeled in clay, he would therefore be able to appreciate better in these fields. And further that the very development of this power to do necessarily developed the power to appreciate.
Lowell in his "Fable for Critics" said: "There comes Poe,... three fifths of him genius, and two fifths sheer fudge." But now, fifty years after his death, we see how great a man Poe was. Poe invented the modern art of short story writing. His tales were translated into French by a famous writer named Charles Baudelaire. Other French writers saw how fine they were and modeled their work upon them.
He was engaged at the time on a scheme of steam navigation by a propeller, modeled after the foot of a water fowl. His plan did not commend itself to Fulton's judgment, and he addressed him a letter, setting forth its defects, and advancing some of the views upon which he acted himself in after life.
Haywood managed to exist fourteen years longer and during that time wrote the best remembered of her works. Copy from her pen supplied her publisher, Thomas Gardner, with a succession of novels modeled on the French fiction of Marivaux and De Mouhy, with periodical essays reminiscent of Addison, with moral letters, and with conduct books of a nondescript but popular sort.
The gaunt figure of Lincoln is not a thing of beauty to be gazed at from all the points of the compass; and the stern veracity of the artist would not permit him to disguise the ill-fitting coat and trousers by any arbitrary draperies, mendaciously cloaking the clothes which were intensely characteristic of the man to be modeled.
Deduction that she has been modeled by mechanical causes. Confirmation of this by geological discoveries respecting aqueous rocks; corroboration by organic remains. The necessity of admitting enormously long periods of time. Displacement of the doctrine of Creation by that of Evolution Discoveries respecting the Antiquity of Man. The time-scale and space-scale of the world are infinite.
Burroughs has been much visited, much "appreciated," much rhymed about, much painted, modeled, and photographed, and much loved. Because he has been so much loved, and because his influence has been so far-reaching, it has seemed to me that a book which gives familiar and intimate glimpses of him will be welcomed by the legion who call him friend.
Donning a linen blouse, he attacked the mass of damp clay powerfully, throwing great pieces onto the skeleton lead-pipe, which he explained had been bent to the exact angle of the head in his group. "The woman's figure I modeled from ideal proportions, Mrs. Byrd, and this head will be set upon its shoulders. My statue will then be a living thing instead of a mere symbol."
He took her hand. "I've never seen such hands. They are like steel, and yet they are feminine." She drew her hands away. "I'm ashamed of my hands they are so big and rough and dingy." "They're brown, of course, and calloused a little but they are not big, and they are beautifully modeled." He looked at her speculatively. "I am wondering how you would look in conventional dress."
