I trust that I may speak plainly on this delicate subject without offending the unco' guid or giving the priorient pulpiteers a pain. I believe the sexes should be equally pure when I make a world all my women shall be paragons of virtue, and all my men he-virgins. I'll construct no Messalinas nor Cleopatras, no Lovelaces or Sir Launcelots. I'll people the world with St.
The Eastern potentate who declared that women were at the bottom of all mischief, should have gone a little further and seen why it is so. It is because women are never lazy. They don't know what it is to be quiet. They are Semiramides, and Cleopatras, and Joans of Arc, Queen Elizabeths, and Catharines the Second, and they riot in battle, and murder, and clamor and desperation.
Observe too how fond they are of peaks, and Gothic-arch intersections. "Rich maidens, again, flit abroad in gowns scolloped out behind and before, so that back and breast are almost bare. Wives of quality, on the other hand, have train-gowns four or five ells in length; which trains there are boys to carry. Brave Cleopatras, sailing in their silk-cloth Galley, with a Cupid for steersman!
Arjillax wants to make more of those abominable things, and to destroy even their artistic character by making ancients of them. THE NEWLY BORN. You wont sit for them, will you? Please dont. THE HE-ANCIENT. Children, listen. Even the Ancient wants to make a speech! Give it mouth, O Sage. STREPHON. For heaven's sake don't tell us that the earth was once inhabited by Ozymandiases and Cleopatras.
The last diamond may be, the. last pearl never, until the sea gives up more than its dead, its very being. Pearls may begin and end in foam; but the beginning is now and always, and the ending rare, for the Cleopatras are gone. Emblems of purity, refinement, and peace, they are truly the gems for woman.
"Well, they aren't exactly Cleopatras, but not bad, not bad!" he gurgled. "Is one older than the other?" Clara J. cross-questioned. "Might be mother and daughter," Uncle Peter fancied. "It's surely Bunch's bunch," I groaned inwardly, wondering how I'd look galloping across the country with a kitchen chair trailing along behind. "Uncle Peter, it must be John Henry's Aunt Eliza and cousin Julia.
The limousine could hardly contain him. Kedzie felicitated herself on escaping from his thrall just in time to avoid being stupefied by it. She thanked Heaven that she had not flung her arms around him and claimed him for her own. She had the cleverness of elusion that her sex displays in all the species, from Cleopatras to clams, from butterflies to rhinoceroses.
"Thank you for saying so. It cheers me up. We women folk are so in the habit of believing anything you men folk tell us. It's really quaint!" "Stop rotting, and tell me about yourself; and a truce to heiresses and Cleopatras. You know I'm dying to hear." "Not a syllable, until you've told me about yourself. Where you're going, and what the dickens for!" We laughed into each other's eyes.
Those beaming eyes and roseate lips beneath me proclaim a bevy of undeveloped Aspasias, of embryo Cleopatras, destined by Nature, and only restrained by man's injustice, from ruling the world by their beauty's eloquence.
This energetic man, a general under Alexander the Great, when his sovereign 333 B.C. had conquered the whole Nile Valley, was appointed governor of the new Satrapy; after Alexander's death in 323 B.C., Ptolemy mounted the throne of the Pharaohs, and he and his descendants ruled over Egypt until after the death of the last and most famous of the Cleopatras, when it was annexed as a province to the Roman Empire.
