My father and I dined with him that night, incidentally making the acquaintance of Mr Malcolm Adair, the Europa's first lieutenant; and on the following morning, immediately after breakfast, I proceeded on board the receiving hulk, reported myself, then returned to the shore and made my way to Number 3 basin, in which the frigate was undergoing the process of being rigged and prepared for sea.
Tennyson, in his Palace of Art, describing the works of art with which the palace was adorned, thus alludes to Europa: " sweet Europa's mantle blew unclasped >From off her shoulder, backward borne, >From one hand drooped a crocus, one hand grasped The mild bull's golden horn."
Upon regaining the Europa's deck I found it a scene of feverish yet perfectly ordered activity.
"Grasps with one hand his curved projecting horn, And with the other closely drawn compressed The fluttering foldings of her purple vest, Whene'er its fringed hem was dashed with dew Of the salt sea-foam that in circles flew: Wide o'er Europa's shoulders to the gale The ruffled robe heaved swelling, like a sail."
I afterward learned that this was Dr Loder, chief of the medical staff in the Port Royal Naval Hospital. And oh! what a difference there was between him and Wilson, the Europa's surgeon.
In the Berlin Galleries, which are made up, like other Galleries, of goat-footed Pan, Europa's Bull, Romulus's She-Wolf, and the correggiosity of Correggio; and contain, for instance, no Portrait of Frederick the Great; no Likenesses at all, or next to none at all, of the noble series of Human Realities, or of any part of them, who have sprung not from the idle brains of dreaming Dilettanti, but from the Head of God Almighty, to make this poor authentic Earth a little memorable for us, and to do a little work that may be eternal there: in those expensive Halls of "High Art" at Berlin, there were, to my experience, few Pictures more agreeable than this of Pesne's.
But her brothers were too far off to hear; especially as the fright took away Europa's voice, and hindered her from calling very loudly. So there she stood, with her pretty mouth wide open, as pale as the white lilies that were twisted among the other flowers in her garlands.
Too justly the historian accuses the genius of past art, in that, types of too many such elsewhere, the galleries of Berlin "are made up, like other galleries, of goat-footed Pan, Europa's Bull, Romulus's She-Wolf, and the Correggiosity of Correggio, and contain, for instance, no portrait of Friedrich the Great, no likeness at all, or next to none at all, of the noble series of Human Realities, or any part of them, who have sprung, not from the idle brains of dreaming dilettanti, but from the head of God Almighty, to make this poor authentic earth a little memorable for us, and to do a little work that may be eternal there."
Tennyson, in his "Palace of Art," describing the works of art with which the palace was adorned, thus alludes to Europa: "... sweet Europa's mantle blew unclasped From off her shoulder, backward borne, From one hand drooped a crocus, one hand grasped The mild bull's golden horn."
Take as an example the adventure of Europa: Lord Tennyson's lines, in The Palace of Art are intended to describe picture 'Or sweet Europa's mantle blew unclasp'd, From off her shoulder backward borne: From one hand droop'd a crocus: one hand grasp'd The mild bull's golden horn.
