Nikkolay's wife, Dame Cecelia; Rovard Grauffis; Lady Lavina Karvall he must have slept a long time, for she was so much older than he remembered and her brother, Burt Sandrasan. And a woman with dark hair, in a white smock with a gold caduceus on her breast. Once, Duchess Flavia, and once Duke Angus himself. He asked where he was, not much caring. They told him, at the Ducal Palace.
The cords were nine, in honor of the nine Muses. Mercury gave the lyre to Apollo, and received from him in exchange the caduceus. Ceres presided over agriculture. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but its social and beneficent influences likewise, so that he is viewed as the promoter of civilization, and a lawgiver and lover of peace.
I had not hopped far before I perceived a tall young gentleman in a silk waistcoat, with a wing on his left heel, a garland on his head, and a caduceus in his right hand. I thought I had seen this person before, but had not time to recollect where, when he called out to me and asked me how long I had been departed. I answered I was just come forth.
Higher up, on a projecting cornice which ran on a level with the first floor, a small niche sheltered a terra-cotta Mercury poised on one foot, with wings to his sandals and the caduceus in his hand, who, as Hortense noted, was leaning a little too far forward in the ardour of his flight and ought logically to have lost his balance and taken a header into the street.
And beneath the oval, on the parapet, is Grammar, who is teaching some little boys to read. Beginning over again, there follows Mercury with the Caduceus and with his Sign, who has below him in the oval some little boys, some of whom are going to school and some playing.
"Do you think that there is in town one woman who could resist me?" "I do think so." "Me, Apollo?" "You, my Radiant." "I, who should bewitch her with poetry and charm her with song and music!" "You, my Radiant." "If you were an honest god I would be willing to make a wager with you. But you, Argo-robber, if you should lose, you would disappear immediately with your sandals and caduceus."
She seems all that is good and kind, and to add great intelligence and agreeableness to these prime qualities. Now I have done with being a messenger of the gods, and verily my caduceus is trembling in my hand. O Mr. Kenyon! what have you done? You will know the interpretation of the reproach, your conscience holding the key of the cypher.
Half a dozen crews of check-out men were swarming about her, inspecting her engine and fuel supplies, riding up the gantry crane to her entrance lock, and guiding the great cargo nets from the loading crane into her afterhold. High up on her hull Dal Timgar could see a golden caduceus emblazoned, the symbol of the General Practice Patrol, and beneath it the ship's official name: GPPS 238 LANCET
This dream world of leaf and bird stirs the blood with a strange enchantment. The Spirit of Nature touches us with her caduceus: Fair are others, none behold thee; But thy voice sounds low and tender Like the fairest, for it folds thee From the sight, that liquid splendour; And all feel, yet see thee never, As I feel now ....
Mercury is said to have invented the lyre. Thus Gray, in his ode on the "Progress of Poesy," says, "O Sovereign of the willing soul, Parent of sweet and solemn-breathing airs, Enchanting shell! Mercury gave the lyre to Apollo, and received from him in exchange the caduceus. Ceres presided over agriculture.
