It was market-day in Queningford. Aggie Purcell was wondering whether Mr. Hurst would look in that afternoon at the Laurels as he had looked in on other market-days. Supposing he did, and supposing Mr. Gatty were to look in, too, why then, Aggie said, it would be rather awkward. But whether awkward for herself, or for Mr. Gatty, or Mr.
Of course it may be that the special formation of his melodies misleads one sometimes, and that Purcell in inventing them often did not dream of depicting natural objects. But, remembering the gusto with which he sets descriptive words, using these phrases consciously with a picturesque purpose, it is hard to accept this view. But Purcell is infinitely simpler, less fevered, than Weber.
England's period of musical greatness has been said to be the past and the future. During the contrapuntal epoch her music flourished as never before or since, and side by side with the Shakespearian period in literature came an era of musical glory scarcely inferior to it. During the Restoration, too, music still held its own, thanks to the genius of Purcell in opera.
Being a Fourth Extract from the Legacy of the Late F. Purcell, P. P. of Drumcoolagh "All this he told with some confusion and Dismay, the usual consequence of dreams Of the unpleasant kind, with none at hand To expound their vain and visionary gleams.
Ann's Street and Lane are poor and wretched quarters. Herrick lodged in the street when, ejected from his living in the country in 1647, he returned with anything but reluctance to his beloved London. He had resumed lay dress, but was restored to his living in 1662 in reward for his devoted loyalty to the Stuarts. The great musician, Henry Purcell, was born in St. Ann's Lane.
"Poetry?" said Emilia; "no, not much. It seems like talking on tiptoe; like animals in cages, always going to one end and back again...." "And making the same noise when they get at the end like the bears!" Sir Purcell slightly laughed. "You don't approve of the rhymes?"
Purcell, I have only to remark, that if you are desirous of making a jest of the court, you had better be cautious, I say, sir; and here the judge waxed exceeding wroth. 'I say the line is Latin Latin, sir, Juvenal's Latin, sir every schoolboy knows it. "'Of course, my lord, said Peter, with great humility, 'I bow myself to the decision of your lordship; the line is, therefore, Latin.
This was accordingly done, and soon after ten o'clock Lady Lysle, who had not yet completed her morning toilet, was most amazed at being informed by her maid that Miss Lysle was waiting for her downstairs. "Aneta! You don't mean Aneta, Purcell?" "Yes, my lady; and she wants to see you in a very great hurry." "Then send her up to me." Purcell disappeared. Lady Lysle wondered what was wrong.
"Wal, Pan, I was shore in on thet," said Blink, gripping Pan's arm. "Say, you called 'em flat. Made 'em swaller a hell of a lot," added Gus, with a hard note in his voice. "When it come down to hard pan they wasn't there." "Pan, you remember me tellin' you aboot Purcell, who jumped my claim with young Hardman?" queried Blinky.
Through another judge than Purcell, the absurd injunction against working the Diamond King, the Mary K, and the Marcus Daly had been dissolved, but even this advantage had been neutralized by the necessity of giving back to the enemy the Taurus and the New York, of which he had just possessed himself. All his life he had kept a wheather-eye upon the impulsive and fickle public.
