On the top floor, spacious salons, richly decorated, were used for large and elaborate receptions of various kinds. At times the members of certain social clubs gave in these rooms subscription balls of anacreontic tendencies, the feminine element of which was recruited among the popular gay favorites of the period.
The sixth day, pour in vases the fine juice The gift of Bacchus, who gives joys for use. Anacreon talks to the point so well that you must forgive him, I think, for being Anacreontic, and take from his hands what is not defiled. The translation you send me does not 'smell of Anacreon, nor please me. Where did you get it? Would this be at all fresher?
You had always a sweet tooth, I remember.... Then they ring the changes in this way: 'You were always fond of grey, Miss Peabody. 'You had a great fancy for Moore, in the old days, Miss Peabody: have you outgrown him, or does the 'Anacreontic little chap, as Father Prout called him, still appeal to you?... 'You used to admire Boyle O'Reilly, Dr. La Touche.
She nodded her head with one of those sudden gestures whose graceful vivacity is not to be translated into words. "My good friend, don't go away," cried the geometrician. "This is my wife!" I bowed for the second time! Oh, Coulon! Why wert thou not present to applaud the only one of thy pupils who understood from that moment the expression, "anacreontic," as applied to a bow?
Auber, with his Anacreontic ballads in his young head, would seem more fittingly framed in this old Caen that runs up a hill-side. But women as beautiful as Marie Stuart and the Corday can deal safely in the business of assassination, the world will always continue to aureole their pictures with a garland of roses. The Abbaye on its hill was reached at last.
This statue may represent one of the youthful favourites of the tyrant Polycrates hymning his master's love in Anacreontic strain. But it is far from likely that it is a statue of the philosopher Pythagoras.
That little pillow, the sole confidant of timid dreams, that narrow couch, fitted like a tomb for but one alabaster form, inspired me with tender melancholy. No anacreontic thoughts came to me, I assure you, nor any disposition to rhyme in ette, herbette, filette, coudrette. The love I bear to noble poesy saved me from such an exhibition of bad taste.
The gay Athenian answered this challenge by singing part of an Anacreontic ode, often repeated during the festivities of the Dionysia: "To-day I'll haste to quaff my wine, As if to-morrow ne'er should shine; But if to-morrow comes, why then I'll haste to quaff my wine again.
And so the whole table made the matter a thing to inquire or reply upon at once, and isolated rills of other chat died out like a river in the sands. 'Witty things, and occasionally Anacreontic: and they have the originality which such a style must naturally possess when carried out by a feminine hand, said Ladywell. 'If it is a feminine hand, said a man near.
The company appeared willing to give consideration to the words of a man who knew such things as that, and hung forward to listen. But Ladywell stopped the whole current of affairs in that direction by saying 'O no; I was speaking rather of the matter and tone. In fact, the Seven Days' Review said they were Anacreontic, you know; and so they are any one may feel they are.
