Briefly, it appears that in the best period of ancient Greece nine Muses were recognised, namely, Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry; Euterpé, of lyric poetry; Erato, of erotic poetry; Melpomené, of tragedy; Thalia, of comedy; Polyhymnia, of sacred hymns; Terpsichoré, of choral song and dance; Clio, of history; and Urania, of astronomy.
An' mebbe one o' you'd stir up a sunshine cake. You must know how to make your mother's sunshine cake?" There was another silence in the cellar when Calliope had done, and for a minute I wondered if, after all, she had not failed, and if the bleeding of the three hearts might be so stanched. It was not self-reliant Libbie Liberty who spoke first; it was gentle Miss Lucy.
But if I read the volume right, By Phoebus to his followers given, I'd say they're all mistaken quite, And that his real country's heaven; While, for his mother, she can be No other than Calliope. Trans. by MERIVALE. The principal works of Homer, and, in fact, the only ones that have not been declared spurious, are the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Yours with love, now and always, BELL. P. S Our 'Happy Hexagon' has become a sort of 'Obstreperous Octagon. Laura and Scott Burton are staying with us. Scott is a good deal of a bookworm, and uses very long words; his favourite name for me at present is Calliope; I thought it was a sort of steam- whistle, but Margery thinks it was some one who was connected with poetry.
I looked in vain towards the schooner, expecting her to lower down a boat. The fact was, that the Calliope had made the signal for her to do so, and the schooner had replied that she had no boat that could swim. I then perceived that the frigate had lowered down a boat which was pulling towards me, and I considered myself as safe.
"Calliope," I cried after her because I could not help it, "tell Delia More I take stock, too!" Of Abel Halsey, that young itinerant preacher, I learned more on a December day when Autumn seemed to have come back to find whether she had left anything.
An' when Calliope gets to the hotel the woman was about breathin' her last. An' it was Mis' Oldmoxon Martha Boughton, if you please, an' dyin' on the trip she'd made to ask Calliope to forgive her for what she done. "An' Calliope forgive her, but I don't imagine Calliope was thinkin' much about her at the time.
And the more the chairman talked, the more his own declarations convinced him. "Why, the old bull fiddle can't fool the convention, Thelismer. He's running around the State now, and they're listening to him like they'd listen to a steam calliope, but what he says don't amount to anything for an argument. It's the pledged delegates that count."
A survey, in consequence of the carpenter's report was held upon the Calliope, and the result was, she was ordered home to be repaired. The Dort was commissioned by the admiral, and Mr Hippesley received an acting order to the sloop of war, which had become vacant by the commander of her being promoted into the Dort, which was now christened the Curacao.
Wasn't it like the Proudfits to ask them?" And, at my question: "Some folks," Calliope said, "has got spines and some folks hasn't. But what I say is, nobody can tell which is which. Because now and then the soft-spine' kind just hardens up all in a minute same as steel. So when I meet a stranger that sort o' sops along through life, limp and floppy, I never judge him.
