Yet never at any period did the native Italian masters learn to love ugliness with the devotion that reveals innate grossness. It remained for Dürer, Rembrandt, and Hogarth to elevate the grotesque into the region of high art, for Rubens to achieve the apotheosis of pure animalism, for Teniers to devote distinguished genius to the service of the commonplace.
We walked around the galleries and ascended the steps. In the lower gallery there is, beneath every Buddha, a representation of a man, on either side of which are groups of three figures, each bearing lotus flowers and fans. The third gallery wall contains one hundred and eighty bas-reliefs, depicting the apotheosis of Buddha.
She went to the boot-room where her pattens had hung ever since her apotheosis; took them down, had their mildewed leathers blacked, and put them on as she had done in old times. Thus mounted, and with cloak and umbrella, she went off to the place of appointment intending, if the lady were not there, to call at the house.
The politicians of Japan are not content with leaving all political and state authority to the Emperor. For this end the politicians have been working since the first meeting of the national Diet. Which principle is to succeed, apotheosis and absolute Imperial sovereignty, or individualism with democratic sovereignty? The two cannot permanently live together.
This is a peculiar thing in the literature of a people like the English, who are not ashamed to glory in their commercial success, and are always ready to cheer a politician who professes to have the interests of trade at heart. Amid the current eulogies of the working man and the apotheosis of the beings called 'Captains of Industry, the bagman surely ought to find at least an apologist.
In order to give you some idea of the workings of my mind at this period it will suffice to mention that the War of Independence was breaking out in America; that Voltaire was receiving his apotheosis in Paris; that Franklin, the prophet of a new political religion, was sowing the seed of liberty in the very heart of the Court of France; while Lafayette was secretly preparing his romantic expedition.
This whole way of viewing childhood, this regretful retrospect of its vanished joys, this infatuated apotheosis of doughiness and rank unfinish, this fearful looking-for of dread old age, is low, gross, material, utterly unworthy of a sublime manhood, utterly false to Christian truth. Childhood is pre-eminently the animal stage of existence.
Some thoughtful persons regarded the book with utter contempt and indignation; it seemed to them a crime to have written it; a proof of 'banausia, as Aristotle would have called it, only to be outdone by the writing a 'Comic Bible. After a while, however, their indignation began to subside; their second thoughts, as usual, were more charitable than their first; they were not surprised to hear that the author was an honest, just, and able magistrate; they saw that the publication of such a book involved no moral turpitude; that it was merely meant as a jest on a subject on which jesting was permissible, and as a money speculation in a field of which men had a right to make money; while all which seemed offensive in it was merely the outcome, and as it were apotheosis, of that method of writing English history which has been popular for nearly a hundred years.
'I think, said Mysie, 'Captain Henderson was like the two happy sons in Solon's story, who dragged their mother to the temple. 'Only they died of it, said Gillian. 'And nobody asked how the poor mother felt afterwards, added Lady Merrifield. 'I thought they all had an apotheosis together, said Sir Jasper. 'Let us hope that devotion may have its reward.
'Among the ancients the progression had proceeded farther than with us. 'In what respect? 'For instance, in the affair of the Apotheosis of the Beetle; I saw it take place last night. 'Where? 'Here, within a few feet of where you are standing. 'Are you serious? 'Perfectly. 'What did you see?
