The officers not having yet arrived we received all the attention, and I was successively presented to Miss Eurydice, Miss Minerva, Miss Sylvia, Miss Aspasia, Miss Euterpe, and many other, evidently borrowed from the different men-of-war which had been on the station. All these young ladies gave themselves all the airs of Almack's.
An Aspasia and a Phryne, youthful and lovely, maybe elevated into a Pallas and a Venus by an able and imaginative painter, whose excited fancy will readily improve upon his models, and invest each feature, form, and attitude, with classical and appropriate expression.
'Well, cross out that, and put in Aspasia Matilda Ottley. Sorry, Dilly! He kissed her, and they ran off together hand in hand; looking like cherubs, and laughing musically. Aylmer At the Carlton Aylmer had easily persuaded Bruce and Edith to dine with him next day, although they were engaged to the elder Mrs Ottley already.
I haven't seen her for an eternity. But Aspasia used to be a dear girl and so fond of me!" She put down her cup with a sigh, intended as a reproach to George. George only buried himself the deeper in his morning's letters. Mrs. Watton, behind her newspaper, glanced grimly from the mother to the son. "I wonder if that woman has a single real old friend in the world.
There she is, with studding-sails set, about fifty miles to the northward of the Cape of Good Hope; and I think that when the reader has finished this chapter, he will be inclined to surmise that the author, as well as the Aspasia, has most decidedly "doubled the Cape."
In the same way something can be good and bad at the same time. Therefore Euripides is right when he says that he loves and hates woman simultaneously. The misogynist is he who only hates woman, but Euripides loves her also. Therefore he is not a misogynist. What do you think, Aspasia?" "Wise Socrates! You confess that Euripides hates women, therefore he is a woman-hater."
Fry; Alcibiades would bring Homer and Plato in his purple-sailed galley; and I would have Aspasia, Ninon de l'Enclos, and Mrs. Battle, to make up a table of whist with Queen Elizabeth. I shall order a seat placed in the oratory for Lady Jane Grey and Joan of Arc.
We should hardly have believed that so many illustrious men had courted their society that Aspasia had been consulted in deliberations of peace and war that Phryne had a statue of gold placed between the statues of two kings at Delphos that, after death, magnificent tombs had been erected to their memory.
The candlestick in the center of the table was composed of twelve branches. The cuisine was delectable, the wines delicious. Madame and the countess were in evening dress. The Colonel was brimming with anecdote, the countess was witty, Madame was a sister to Aspasia. Maurice, while he enjoyed this strange feast, was puzzled.
He was one of the most accomplished men of antiquity, or of any age, an enlightened and curious traveler, a profound thinker, a man of universal knowledge, familiar with the whole range of literature, art, and science in his day, acquainted with all the great men of Greece and at the courts of Asiatic princes, the friend of Sophocles, of Pericles, of Thucydides, of Aspasia, of Socrates, of Damon, of Zeno, of Pheidias, of Protagoras, of Euripides, of Polygnotus, of Anaxagoras, of Xenophon, of Alcibiades, of Lysias, of Aristophanes, the most brilliant constellation of men of genius who were ever found together within the walls of a Grecian city, respected and admired by these great lights, all of whom he transcended in knowledge.
