He takes his material as such, and embellishes it with his ideas creates beauty merely by disposing its masses and enriching its surface. But in all and each of these processes, whether mind predominate or matter, there comes in as a further necessary factor the actual technical manipulation.
His religious tolerance was the natural consequence of his philosophic spirit. He embellishes his romance with the ridiculous farce of the sepulchral chamber of the grand pyramid, and the speeches which were addressed to the General as well as to the muftis and Imaums; and he adds that Bonaparte was on the point of embracing Islamism.
She may walk the fields of thought, achieve the victories of mind, spread around her the testimonials of her worth, and make herself known and felt as man's co-worker and equal in whatsoever exalts mind, embellishes life, or sanctifies humanity.
"If Miss Merton will forget my charge of treason, and condescend to put on the necklace, you will all see it to much greater advantage than at present. If a fine necklace embellishes a fine woman, the advantage is quite reciprocal. I have seen my pearls once already on her neck, and know the effect." A wish of Grace's aided my application, and Emily placed the ornaments around her throat.
Though there has been a decline, if not a positive discontinuance, of his traditionary worship of idols; though his adoration of the sun, of certain of the birds of the air, and of the animal creation, is not now blindly followed, and the invocation of these, for the supposed assuring of success to various enterprises, is rarely put in effect, there is yet preserved a relic of his old traditions, in the designs with which he embellishes certain specimens of the handiwork, with which he oft vexes the public eye.

The thing itself is worthless; and the moral writers who embellish it with pious ornamentation are just as reprehensible as Zola, who embellishes it with erotic arabesques.
Thank heaven, I haven't written her any letters for an age. Is she going to him?" "Not she! But it's odd, Mount! did you ever know her refuse money before? She tore up the cheque in style, and presented me the fragments with two or three of the delicacies of language she learnt at your Academy. I rather like to hear a woman swear. It embellishes her!"

It improves herself, it embellishes her family society, it entertains her husband, it informs her children.
Although his plays are all connected with the history and mythology of Greece, in them rhetoric is more prominent than in the plays of either AEschylus or Sophocles; the legendary characters assume more the garb of humanity; the tender sentiments love, pity, compassion are invoked to a greater degree, and an air of exquisite delicacy and refinement embellishes the whole.
