And it is again an architectural quality, though in the sense of the carved portals of Pistoia, the flutings and fretwork and surface pattern of the Baptistery and S. Miniato, which gives such poignant pleasure in the work of a very different, but very great, sculptor, Desiderio. But the quality of Tuscan sculpture exists in humbler, often anonymous and infinitely pathetic work.
The dusky flutings in the prismatic light of the first of these stars have not been identified with the absorption of any particular substance; but associated with them are metallic lines, of which 78 were measured, and a good many identified by Huggins, while the wave-lengths of 97 were determined by Vogel in 1871.
Taking a knife, Mother cut off these edges even with the pan, then, for decoration, made little marks in the dough all around, like the flutings of the Fairy Lamp.
Buckland published in 1842 his reasons for believing that the Snowdonian mountains in Caernarvonshire were formerly covered with glaciers, which radiated from the central heights through the seven principal valleys of that chain, where striae and flutings are seen on the polished rocks directed towards as many different points of the compass.
Often she heard the Music of the Marsh through the night: an infinity of flutings and tinklings made by tiny amphibia, like the low blowing of numberless little tin horns, the clanking of billions of little bells; and, at intervals, profound tones, vibrant and heavy, as of a bass viol the orchestra of the great frogs!
Cutting the animal on one side of the backbone we met a compact layer of white fat 20 centimeters deep; the cartilaginous ribs covered with blood vessels; a stratum of flabby, stringy, white muscle, 60 centimeters high, apparently in adipose degeneracy; the stomach. By each side of the backbone he had three chamferings, or flutings, that were distinguished by inflected interstices.
Between two semicircular bays that project from the ends of the building on the entrance front, six Ionic pilasters support a broad and elaborately ornamented pediment, its chief features being the notching of the shingles, the circular window and the frieze with groups of vertical flutings in alternation with large round flower ornaments.
The yards of the village homes, or the grounds, as they were commonly designated, were gay with the earlier flowering shrubs, almond and bridal wreath and Japanese quince. The deep scarlet of the quince-bushes was evident a long distance ahead, like floral torches. Constantly tiny wings flashed in and out the field of vision with insistences of sweet flutings.
Those were not the days of flutings and bows and rufflings innumerable. Elizabeth's dress was a long, perfectly plain one, of white India mull. A narrow black belt confined it at the waist, a collar of rich lace and a brooch of gold at the throat. Her fair hair was dressed in a large loose bow on the crown, and lay in soft light curls upon her brow.
Pretty children, all of them, more or less; and towardly, and comfortable to a Father; and the worst of them a paragon of beauty, in comparison to perverse, clandestine, disobedient Fritz, with his French fopperies, flutings, and cockatoo fashions of hair!
