The arming of the lead here invariably came up quite clean, but deeply indented, and chains and anchors which were lowered, in the hopes of tearing up the coral, were broken. Many small fragments, however, of Millepora alcicornis were brought up; and on the arming from an eight-fathom cast, there was a perfect impression of an Astraea, apparently alive.
But now that 'terras Astraea reliquit', kings and princes die of natural deaths; even war is pusillanimously carried on in this degenerate age; quarter is given; towns are taken, and the people spared: even in a storm, a woman can hardly hope for the benefit of a rape. Heroic actions of this kind were performed at the taking of Magdebourg.
Evidently she cannot perceive it, and I have to seek: You will have had many conversations with Astraea? ARDEN: I can say, that I am thrice the man I was before I had them. HOMEWARE: You have gained in manhood from conversations with a widow in her twenty-second year; and you want more of her. ARDEN: As much as I want more wisdom. HOMEWARE: You would call her your Muse?
ASTRAEA: With the assumption, that as I am feminine I must necessarily be in the folds of the horrible constrictor they call Love, and that I leap to the thoughts of their debasing marriage. LYRA: One of them goes to Mr. Homeware. ASTRAEA: All are sent to him in turn. He can dispose of them. LYRA: Now that is really masterly fun, my dear; most creditable to you!
I rejoice to hear of the new work, and can answer for its excellence. I trust that the English edition of Dr. Holmes will contain the "Astraea," and the "Morning Visit," and the "Cambridge Address." I am not sure, in my secret soul, that I do not prefer him to any American poet. Besides his inimitable word-painting, the charity is so large and the scale so fine.
In like manner the fossil corals, or Zoantharia, six in number, which I obtained from Madeira, of the genera Astraea, Sarcinula, Hydnophora, were pronounced by Mr. Lonsdale to be forms foreign to the adjacent coasts, and agreeing with the fauna of a sea warmer than that now separating Madeira from the nearest part of the African coast.
It disgusts, us with virtue. And you are the cunningest of fencers, tongue, or foils. You lead me to talk of myself, and I hate the subject. By the way, you have practised with Mr. Arden. ASTRAEA: A tiresome instructor, who lets you pass his guard to compliment you on a hit. LYRA: He rather wins me. ASTRAEA: He does at first. LYRA: Begins Plurielizing, without the law to back him, does he?
VIRGINIA: Never have I seen Astraea look sublimer in her beauty than with her eyes uplifted to the impassioned speaker, reflecting every variation of his tones. ARDEN: Astraea! LADY OLDLACE: She was entranced when he spoke of woman descending from her ideal to the gross reality of man. OSIER: Yes, yes.
LYRA: Praise of that kind makes me rather incline to prefer his inferiors. He fed gobble-gobble on your puffs of incense. I coughed and scraped the gravel; quite in vain; he tapped for more and more. ASTRAEA: Professor Spiral is a thinker; he is a sage. He gives women their due. LYRA: And he is a bachelor too or consequently.
They wear terrific brows, But be not you affrighted, my sweet chick, And tell them uncle Homeware backs your choice, By lawyer and by priests! by altar, fount, And testament! ASTRAEA: My choice! what have I chosen? HOMEWARE: She asks? You hear her, Arden? what and whom! ARDEN: Surely, sir!... heavens! have you...
