We visited X-ray rooms and operating theatre against whose walls were glass cases filled with a multitudinous array of instruments for the saving of life, and here it was I learned that in certain cases, a chisel, properly handled, was a far more delicate tool than the finest saw. "A wonderful place," said I for the hundredth time as we stepped out upon a trim, green lawn.
With a saw, cut through under side of brain cavity, lengthwise on each side of axis bone. Cut the loosened piece out with a chisel and remove brain. Fasten skull to top of neck board with nails driven through holes drilled through the bone. If turned head is desired, make opening in under side of brain cavity wider and nail skull at any desired angle upon top of neck board.
"I have devoted much time to the study of the fine arts I have seen many statues I have frequently been in sculptors' studios; I prefer Stickleback to Canova." "I honour his moral elevation," observed Miss Hendy, "in stamping on eternal marble the femininity of the subject of his chisel." "I must really have the first view," whispered Mr Pitskiver. "Can't you remind him, Bristles?
Now, I never handled a spade, and never could; but, boys, I handled a chisel and mallet; and many a hundred block of stone has come out smooth from under that hand;" and Sir Roger lifted up his great broad palm wide open. "So you did, Roger, and well we minds it." "The meaning, however, of that spade is to show that I made the railway.
He strode through its magnificent apartments, one after another, without noticing their gorgeous grandeur, without glancing at their superb decorations, without wasting a look upon the wondrous products of brush, or chisel, or loom. His disconcerted guide paused before each world-renowned master-piece in vain; Maurice hurried on, and silenced him by saying that he was in search of a friend.
The statue lives after the sculptor dies, as sublime as when his chisel left it. St. Peter's is a perpetual memorial and utterance of the great mind of Angelo. The Iliad is as fresh today as twenty-five centuries ago. The picture may grow richer with years. But great oratory, the most delightful and marvelous of the expressions of mortal power, passes and dies with the occasion."
One arm was raised, the other hung down; the right foot was put forward, the left one back. Exactly the same as in Myrtilus's statue, and thousands of other figures of Demeter! If he could have used the hammer and chisel, the thing might have become more powerful; but how many things he had had to consider in employing the accursed gold and ivory upon which Archias obstinately insisted!
Lorry went into his room with a chopper, saw, chisel, and hammer, attended by Miss Pross carrying a light. There, with closed doors, and in a mysterious and guilty manner, Mr. Lorry hacked the shoemaker's bench to pieces, while Miss Pross held the candle as if she were assisting at a murder for which, indeed, in her grimness, she was no unsuitable figure.
It was fresh and sharp from the chisel of the sculptor, and looked so stately and graceful in the midst of the level landscape and simple village scenery that we halted spontaneously to examine it. “Can it be the memorial of some battle?” exclaimed one. “Or a devotional shrine?” “Or a tomb?” Not any one of these.
"What else?" urged Big Jim. 'Masso looked blank. "I mean," said Big Jim, "did you like our laws better'n yours? Did you like our ways better?" 'Masso shrugged his shoulders. "Don' care 'bout countra if maka da mon'. Why you come desa countra?" Big Jim's drawl seemed to bite like the slow gouge of a stone chisel. "I was born here, you Wop! This very dirt made the food that made me, understand?
