Where the paint has yielded to age and exposure and is peeling off in flakes and patches, the effect is not happy. A noseless Cupid or a Jupiter with an eye out or a Venus with a fly-blister on her breast, are not attractive features in a picture.
We saw a Venus and a Cupid, both of them tinted; and, side by side with them, other statues identical with these, except that the marble was left in its pure whiteness. We found Miss in a little upper room. She has a small, brisk, wide-awake figure, not ungraceful; frank, simple, straightforward, and downright.
"Why are you so harsh?" she had heard Richard cry more than once. She was sure that Adrian must be right. "Well, I tell you I won't go without you," said Richard, and Lucy begged for a little more time. Cupid now began to grumble, and with cause. Adrian positively refused to go on the water unless that element were smooth as a plate.
Have you lost them?" "Oh, no," replied Dora; "they're perfectly safe. I'm wearing them inside." In war times Cupid is not only active but overworked, and people who have never loved before do not wait upon ceremony. In the spring of 1918, a certain rector, just before the service, was called to the vestibule to meet a couple who wanted to be married.
So no more about condescension, my good Matthew, for love livels all distinctions. Old McB. That's very pretty of you to say so, sir; and I'll repeat it to Honor. O'Bla. Cupid is the great liveller, after all, and the only democrat Daity on earth I'd bow to for I know you are no democrat, Mr. McBride, but quite and clane the contrary way.
The organ was taken out upon the balcony, and "God be with you till we meet again," was sung by our friends. The three Bartons stood just below and opposite the choir, tears of friendship and gratitude streaming down their faces. It is the old story. Cupid has done his work again.
At all events, having finished the statue of a Cupid, after breaking off an arm, it was buried, and in due time discovered, disinterred, and brought to the notice of a distinguished Roman dignitary, who pronounced it to be a genuine antique and paid a large price for it, well pleased, as he had reason to be, with his prize.
Percy could take in the matter it was some jest about Mr. Temple, she was sure. Yes, she did recollect a seal with a Cupid riding a lion, that Mr. Temple gave her just before they went to Falconer-court was that what he meant? "Lord Oldborough's! Yes, there was some such odd seal." But it was not given to her by Mr. Temple she took that from a note to her uncle, the Duke of Greenwich.
To her who earnestly desires to become spiritual, we would present the association in marriage with one spiritually minded, as, above all adventitious means, friendly to her holy purpose. To how many is love a theme for Jesting and Sport. The ancients represented Cupid under the aspect of a boy engaged in amusement.
But he only poked at the quivering form to awaken it, and merely succeeded in changing the key from B flat to a discord of minors. At Yokohama somebody got off and by buying an extra berth we moved into another state-room and slept for twenty-four hours. We called him "Snoring Cupid," because of his cherubic appearance and proficiency in snoring. It was the cherry blossom season in Japan.
