We, in our dry atmosphere, are getting too nervous, haggard, dyspeptic, extenuated, unsubstantial, theoretic, and need to be made grosser. John Bull, on the other hand, has grown bulbous, long-bodied, short-legged, heavy-witted, material, and, in a word, too intensely English. In a few more centuries he will be the earthliest creature that ever the earth saw.
We had brought no alpenstocks to Couvet, so we sent the guide off into the woods, where we had heard the sound of an axe, to get three stout sticks from the woodmen; but he returned with such wretched, crooked little things, that A. went off herself to forage, and, having found an impromptu cattle-fence, came back with weapons resembling bulbous hedge-stakes, which she skinned and generally modified with a powerful clasp-knife, her constant companion.
When she shone out again, with a brilliancy increased by the contrast, I saw plainly on the path before me from around which at this spot the trees receded, leaving a small space of green sward the shadow of a large hand, with knotty joints and protuberances here and there. Especially I remarked, even in the midst of my fear, the bulbous points of the fingers.
A certain vision must direct all growth and vision requires light. The covered things are white-lidded and abortive, scrawny from struggle or bulbous from the feeding dream into which they are prone to sink. It will require centuries for the human race to outgrow the shames which have come to adhere to our character-structure from recent generations.
Through the crack Susan saw busily writing at a table desk a bald, fat man with a pasty skin and a veined and bulbous nose. "Lady to see you," said the boy in a tone loud enough for both Susan and the actress to hear. "Who? What name?" snapped the man, not ceasing or looking up. "She's young, and a queen," said the boy. "Shall I show her in?" "Yep." The actress started up. "Mr.
"Yes, and what about the forgeries, Mr Sniggins," said Harvey. "Don't call me Sniggins!" said Captain Cowan, "I'm a respectable man." "Don't you say this and that about Gladstone, then," said Harvey. "We will if we like," said the bulbous friend, who showed in his phlegmatic way signs of taking sides against the great Liberal leader. "What do you know about it?" contemptuously interposed Harvey.
In a corner behind the Postal Card Photo Taken in a Minute gallery sits Dutch, the world's leading tattooer. Sample tattoo designs cover the two walls. Dragons, scorpions, bulbous nymphs, crossed flags, wreathed anchors, cupids, butterflies, daggers and quaint decorations that seem the grotesque survivals of the mid-Victorian schools of fantasy. Photographs of famous men also cover the walls Capt.
This beverage is made from the roots of the maguey, a plant common to this region. The roots are bulbous, and are gathered in large quantities, and thrown into pits containing red-hot stones. These being filled, they are covered with grass or brush, over which blankets are spread.
There was an infinite number of clowns and particolored harlequins; a host of white dominoes; a multitude of masks, set in eternal grins, or with monstrous noses, or made in the guise of monkeys, bears, dogs, or whatever beast the wearer chooses to be akin to; a great many men in petticoats, and almost as many girls and women, no doubt, in breeches; figures, too, with huge, bulbous heads and all manner of such easy monstrosities and exaggerations.. It is strange how the whole humor of the thing, and the separate humor of each individual character, vanishes the moment I try to grasp it and describe it; and yet there really was fun in the spectacle as it flitted by for instance, in the long line of carriages a company of young men in flesh-colored tights and chemises, representing a party of girls surprised in the midst of dressing themselves, while an old nurse in the midst of them expressed ludicrous horror at their predicament.
On the jambs are three narrow bands of foliage, and one of figures standing under renaissance canopies. On either side are spreading corbels and large niches with curious bulbous canopies under which kneel Dom Manoel on the left presented by St. Jerome, and on the right, presented by St.
