Even as he spoke the plaintive sound of a horn was heard far away in the distance. Peyrolles spoke: "The first signal. The shepherds have been told to watch and warn at the wood-ends and the by-path and the causeway to the bridge. Nevers has entered the forest." The noble shadow gave a little laugh. "He is riding to his death, the fool amorist. Come."
"That is," he said, "because you have the heart of an amorist that would let none be lover save himself." I laughed in his face, and gave him the lie courteously. "No, because I have the heart of a poet, and the full-favored brute vexes my gorge." Guido still seemed to mock me. "As you will," he said. "Shall we go to the Signory and stare at the pageant?" I shook my head.
Human beauty is the most arbitrary of things, and the Englishman, accustomed to the classic type of his own countrywomen, will at first perhaps be somewhat disappointed with the excellence of Spain. It consists but seldom in any regularity of feature, for their appeal is to the amorist rather than to the sculptor in marble.
Beauty hath her Martyrs, as the rest; and of these Keats is the Protagonist; the youngest and the fairest; the most enamoured victim. From those extraordinary letters of his, to his friends and to his love, we gather that this fierce amorist of Beauty was not without his Philosophy.
"Wiles, tricks, subterfuges, chicanery understand what I mean?" "Sure! I understand what you mean as well as you do, but come down to brass tacks." "That's an entirely different matter," conceded Uncle Martin gruffly. "It may take thought." "Oh, is that all? Very well then; we'll think. I, myself, will think. First, I'll have a talk with the sodden amorist. I'll grill him.
So he rides away, curling his moustache, hiding his defeat in a big inimitable swagger. It is a pleasanter piece in which Suckling, after a long leaguer of a lady's heart, finds that Captain honour is governor of the place, and surrender hopeless. Lovelace is even a better type in his rare good things of the military amorist and poet.
Adelais stared after them, striving to picture her betrothed rivalling Leander in this fashion, and subsequently laughed. The marquis was a great lord and a brave captain, but long past his first youth; his actions went somewhat too deliberately ever to be roused to the high lunacies of the Sestian amorist.
"Idiot!" laughed Valgrand. "Didn't you understand? Give me my black tie and villain's coat again." "What on earth is the matter with you?" Charlot asked with some uneasiness. "Surely you are not thinking of going?" "Not going? Why, in the whole of my career as amorist, I have never had such an opportunity before!" "It may be a hoax." "Take my word for it, I know better.
One is the celebrated "Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady," which perhaps owes some of its reputation to the difficulty experienced in identifying the "ever injur'd Shade" intended. She is now understood to have been a much-persecuted Mrs. The other, under the title of "Eloisa to Abelard," versifies the Latin letters of that distinguished amorist to her lover.
It is not impossible that this slave-mother, whom we are inclined to pity, may be indeed a great amorist, a great voluptuary, deriving a certain enjoyment, an after-taste, as it were, of her one marriage-flight, from the union of the male and female principle that thus comes to pass in her being.
