In less than two minutes he washed his face and hands, settled his wig in the glass, and, to Mannering's great surprise, looked quite a different man from the childish Bacchanal he bad seen a moment before. "There are folks," he said, "Mr. Mannering, before whom one should take care how they play the fool because they have either too much malice, or too little wit, as the poet says.
Rome must perish; and it was a pity, for still life was pleasant there. Cæsar was gracious, wine was good! Oh, what a pity! And hiding his head on the arm of a Syrian bacchanal, he burst into tears. "What is a future life! Achilles was right, better be a slave in the world beneath the sun than a king in Cimmerian regions.
I was anxious to count the number of those attracted. At the height of the bacchanal I emptied the purse into a bottle. Intoxicated as they were, many would escape my census, and I wished to ensure its accuracy. A few drops of carbon bisulphide quieted the swarm. The census proved that there were more than four hundred insects in the purse of the Arum.
Agricultural implements do not group effectively, or pose singly with much picturesqueness; tall stalks of corn, mammoth squashes, huge apples and potatoes want the beauty and quality that belong to them out of doors, when they are gathered into the sections of a county fair-house; piles of melons fail of their poetry on a wooden floor, and heaps of grapes cannot assert themselves in a very bacchanal profusion against the ignominy of being spread upon long tables and ticketed with the names of their varieties and exhibitors.
Some minutes after the meeting of Mother Bunch with the Bacchanal Queen, the two sisters were alone together in a small room in the tavern. "Let me kiss you again," said Cephyse to the young sempstress; "at least now we are alone, you will not be afraid?" In the effort of the Bacchanal Queen to clasp Mother Bunch in her arms, the cloak fell from the form of the latter.
I only meant to say that your celestial name does not go well with your charming little face, which is still more mischievous than that of the Bacchanal Queen." "That's right; wheedle me now, wretch!" "I swear by the accursed head of my landlord, that, if you liked, you could spread yourself as much as the Bacchanal Queen which is saying a great deal."
Some of Titian's famous pictures are: his own portrait; "Flora," "Holy Family and St. Bridget," "The Last Judgment," "The Entombment," "The Magdalene," "Bacchanal," "St. Sebastian," "Bacchus and Ariadne," and "The Sleeping Venus." English 1775-1851 Pupil of the Royal Academy If the occupation of a shepherd produced a poet, no less did an artist of the first water come out of a barber shop.
Awaiting the breaking up of the ice, the intrepid adventurers assembled annually upon the islands in the Cattegat or on the coast of Norway, awaiting the favourable moment of departure. Here they beguiled their time between the heathen rites they rendered to their gods, their wild bacchanal festivals, and the equipment of their galleys.
This foul villain went rushing about in the midst of the market-place like any bacchanal; he kept opening the letter and proclaiming, 'Apuleius is a sorcerer! She herself describes her feelings and her sufferings! What more do you demand? There was no one to take my part and reply, 'Give us the whole letter, please! Let me see it all, let me read it from beginning to end.
And so they drank and sang and danced and played cards and drank again, and threw dice for more drinks. It was nearly nine o'clock before the Bacchanal laugh began to ring out at intervals so easily distinguished from the sober laugh, in that it carries in its closing tones the queer ring of the maniac's. Only the mill men had any cash. The village loafers drank at their expense, and on credit.
