We have a library at business, and I've gone through that. Most Besant I've read, and a lot of Mrs. Braddon's and Rider Haggard and Marie Corelli and, well a Ouida or so. They're good stories, of course, and first-class writers, but they didn't seem to have much to do with me. But there's heaps of books one hears talked about, I HAVEN'T read." "Don't you read any other books but novels?"
To be without it precludes greatness; to be wholly subject to its influence is to be insane. Miss Corelli experiences the inrush of emotion in great force, but, unfortunately for her work, and for herself, the sense of power which it inspires is not co-ordinate with the strength of intellect which is essential to its control.
DAVIES. 'Why, you know, Sir, there came a man from Spain to see Livy; and Corelli came to England to see Purcell, and when he heard he was dead, went directly back again to Italy. JOHNSON. 'I should not have wished to be dead to disappoint Campbell, had he been so foolish as you represent him; but I should have wished to have been a hundred miles off. This was apparently perverse; and I do believe it was not his real way of thinking: he could not but like a man who came so far to see him.
Let us take, for example, a woman whose relative navetete makes the process clearly apparent, to wit, a simple shop-girl. Her absolute first choice, perhaps, is not a living man at all, but a supernatural abstraction in a book, say, one of the heroes of Hall Caine, Ethel M. Dell, or Marie Corelli. After him comes a moving-picture actor. Then another moving-picture actor.
Morton liked Miss Corelli so much; but would her works appeal to Istra Nash? He had worked for many hours on a letter to Istra in which he avoided mention of such indecent matters as steerages and immigrants.
Both as a player and composer Tartini was the true successor of Corelli, representing in both respects the next step in the development of the art. Tartini lived until the year 1770.
Blow had written odes before he was weaned; the form and plan of his sonatas came certainly from Bassani, in all likelihood from Corelli also; from John Jenkins and the other writers of fancies he got something of his workmanship and art of weaving many melodies into a coherent whole, and a knowledge of Lulli would help him to attain terseness, and save him from that drifting which is the weak point of the old English instrumental writers; he was acquainted with the music of Carissimi, a master of choral effect.
"This mansion, together with all other property, real and personal, of which the deceased Henry Harlowe died possessed, is bequeathed by will dated about a month since to this lady, Giulletta Corelli." "A will!" exclaimed Mr. Ferret with an explosive shout, and turning to me, whilst his sharp gray eyes danced with irrepressible mirth "Did I not tell you so?" "Your usual sagacity, Mr.
The Tourté model leaves nothing to be desired in all the qualities required to enable the player to follow out every conceivable manner of tone and movement lightness, firmness, and elasticity. Tartini had made the stick of his bow elastic, an innovation from the time of Corelli, and had thus attained a certain flexibility and brilliancy in his bowing superior to his predecessors.
'Do ye ken the laird? said Willie, interrupting a sonata of Corelli, of which he had whistled several bars with great precision. 'I know the laird a little, said I; 'and therefore I was doubting whether I ought to go to his town in disguise.
