And now, if with this clue through the labyrinth of them, you remember the course of the arts of great nations, you will perceive that whatever has prospered, and become lovely, had its beginning for no other was possible in the love of order in material things associated with true +dikaiosunê+: and the desire of beauty in material things, which is associated with true affection, charitas, and with the innumerable conditions of gentleness expressed by the different uses of the words +charis+ and gratia.
In admiring their works and bestowing high eulogiums upon them, he used to say that there was still wanting in them that equal of beauty so peculiar to himself, and known to the Greeks as "Charis"; others, he said, had acquired all the other requisites of perfection, but in this one point he himself had no equal.
Aphrodite, though originally the moon-goddess, like the German Horsel, had before Homer's time acquired many of the attributes of the dawn-goddess Athene, while her lunar characteristics had been to a great extent transferred to Artemis and Persephone. In her renovated character, as goddess of the dawn, Aphrodite became identified with Charis, who appears in the Rig-Veda as dawn-goddess.
With that he stopped, perceiving that, after a second glance at him, the eyes of Aunt Netta, too, were growing round in her head. 'Charis, you naughty child! Sir, I do hope but she has been troubling you, I am sure stammered Aunt Netta, and came to a full stop. Charis clapped her hands, with a triumphant little laugh.
A dead body, so help me God! but I know nothing about it do you, Charis?" I vowed that I did not, and called the patriarch to witness the truth of my assertion.
Good luck abode with them; for that they know the worth of valour they are entered on a glorious road. The matter proveth the man, but from the envious calumny ever threateneth them on whom, as they drive foremost in the twelfth round of the course, Charis sheddeth blushing beauty to win them fame more fair.
What kind of Peace was that in which the Alone-begotten dwelt in the Monad? A Peace most truly given to those within and those without, for in it all things were created. To realise what is meant we must remember that "Charis" and "Resurrection" were names of "Staurus," the Pillar that made with Horos the Great Cross referred to more than once.
And so these heathens meant, before they were Christians. The Romans used to talk about some one called a Grace. The Greeks called her CHARIS; which is exactly the word which St John and St Paul use, and from it come our words charity and charitable.
I can see you now, your tiny finger plunged into the pot of paint, and then carefully printing off the round pattern all over the white linen. Why, the little painter has become a Hebe, a Charis, or, better still, a sweetly dreaming Psyche." "Ay, ay!" said Glaukias again. "My worthy landlord has a charming model. He has not far to seek for a head for his best gems.
A dead body, so help me God! but I know nothing about it do you, Charis?" I vowed that I did not, and called the Patriarch to witness the truth of my assertion.
