The venom is passionate without ever ceasing to be witty. Pope has composed a masterpiece of his vanities and hatreds. The characterizations of Addison as Atticus, and of Lord Hervey as Sporus: Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk Sporus, "the bug with gilded wings" are portraits one may almost call beautiful in their bitter phrasing.
His picture which is always nevertheless a picture is as inconceivable, as traditional in its inspiration, as factitious as you like; his figures are always sapiently and often happily exact. His portraits are absolutely vital characterizations.
The Capitol was full of the rich and racy characterizations, epigrams, and sarcasms which Senator Conkling was daily pouring out upon President Hayes, and especially Secretary Evarts. By all the rules of senatorial courtesy in those machine days, a member of the Cabinet from New York should have been a friend of its United States senator. Mr.

In olden times Oriental instruction relied on the intuitions of the student.
The poem had enormous political influence, and raised Dryden, in the opinion of his contemporaries, to the front rank of English poets. Two extracts from the powerful characterizations of Achitophel and Zimri are given here to show the style and spirit of the whole work.
Cunningham would order the rebel prisoners to turn out and parade for the amusement of his guests, pointing them out with such characterizations as 'This is the d d rebel, Ethan Allen. This is a rebel judge, etc."
Come, let's go on; we'll forget all about it to-morrow," and with a light hand on his arm she led him back to the front of the stage, and the rehearsal proceeded. It was the hardest work he ever did, and he showed it. Some of the cast had to be changed. Two dropped out allured by a better wage and all the work on their characterizations had to be done over.
