What is quite incredible is that, of her own accord, she should have invited the attention of her mistress to the contents of the vase, or funeral urn. If she knew enough of Japanese politeness to smile in announcing her husband's death, she must certainly have known enough to prevent her from perpetrating such an error.
The kiln must be fired before the vase is glazed, and the Acropolis was not crowned with marble in a day. Then the voice came to him again, but there was a strain in it as of some high music struggling to be born of the turmoil. "Ugly I am," it seemed to say to him, "but never forget that I AM a god!" And the voice grew in sonorousness and in dignity.
If any ordinary woman had left her embroidery on the table, if she had upset the stool in leaving the piano, two idle nervous young men like yourselves would from curiosity and ennui have examined the embroidery, disarranged the vase of flowers, picked up the stool, and closed the piano. These evidences, still fresh and undisturbed, attest a respect that belongs only to love.
When they reached Molly's gate, Julia handed over the vase. "Take the old thing," she said. "You have got something to remember Priscilla by always now, and you can send the paper slate to her." "Well, what did you buy, dear?" her mamma asked cheerfully, as Molly came into the parlour. The little girl found it hard to keep back her tears.

There are a number of duplicates of it in the Museum. The specimen illustrated is in the national collection, and was obtained in Arkansas. It is a handsome vase, symmetrical in form, quite dark in color, and highly polished.
Boys were playing a game with stones set in an ordered series of small holes scooped by their fingers in the dust. A negro crossed the flat space before the Bordj carrying on his head a huge earthen vase to the well near by, where a crowd of black donkeys, just relieved of their loads of brushwood, was being watered.
His face brightened a moment, as he sat wearily down at his writing-table and saw the prairie rose in the slender vase. He leaned his head on his hand, and drew the flower towards him, touching it with gentle fingers, as though he caressed the bloom of Helen's cheek.
He had already fitted up her apartment; the jewels he bought that day were placed also within it they were never fated to grace the fair form of Ione; they may be seen at this day among the disinterred treasures of Pompeii, in the chambers of the studio at Naples. 'Come hither, Nydia; put down thy vase, and come hither. Thou must take this chain from me stay there, I have put it on.
He was like a new vase, cracked before it had served its use, and he felt thoroughly ashamed of the weakness and infirmity of his inner self. Thus pondering, he traversed much ground, hardly knowing where he was going. The fog, which now filled the air and which almost hid the trenches with its thin bluish veil, made it impossible to discover his bearings.
He also caused water to be conducted by way of the wall of S. Agnolo for a fountain, and made for it with his own hand a large boy of marble, which pours water into a vase that is very ornate and beautifully contrived; which was held to be a lovely work.
