This dome in the roof was similar to many which I afterwards observed in other glacières, being a vertical fissure with flutings from top to bottom not a spherical dome, but of that more elegant shape which the female dress of modern times assumes on a tall person.
The swallows yearly attempt to fix their gray, mud nests against the flutings of the scallop-shell canopy sheltering his bowed head; and are yearly ejected by cautious gardeners armed with imposing array of ladders and conscious of no little inward reluctance to face the dangers of so aerial a height.
It is believed that it stands upon the site of what must have been, ages ago, a city of considerable architectural pretensions, judging by the fine porphyry pillars that are scattered through Tiberias and down the lake shore southward. These were fluted, once, and yet, although the stone is about as hard as iron, the flutings are almost worn away.
It had little creases on the outside, "flutings," Mother said, like the pleats in her dress. Inside the bowl was a thick white candle, and it had a curly black wick like a kewpie's topknot. Now Mother wanted to make sponge for the bread, but Marmaduke pleaded, "I want you to stay with me, I feel so sick." "Wouldn't my little boy let me go just for five minutes?"
This peculiar shape is not given to answer a purpose, but results from the natural fracture of the stone. Even then, the way of making several implements or weapons is not entirely clear. We got several obsidian maces or lance-heads one about ten inches long which were taper from base to point, and covered with taper flutings; and there are other things which present great difficulties.
She could make two skirts to a dress, one shorter, the other longer; and she could cut out the upper one by any new paper pattern; and she could make shell-trimmings and flutings and box-plaitings and flouncings, and sew them on exquisitely, even now, with her old eyes; but she never had adapted herself to the modern ideas of the corsage.
An example of this will be seen in the next woodcut of a cabinet in the Jones collection, which has also the familiar "Louis Seize" riband surmounting the two oval Sêvres china plaques. When the flutings are in oak, in rich mahogany, or painted white, these husks are gilt, and the effect is chaste and pleasing.
The outer has a rich drip-mould covered with a curious triple arrangement of circles, has flutings on the one face and a twisting ribbon on the other, while the next has leaf flutings on both faces, and both a roll-moulding on the angle.
Six caryatides, or marble women, clad in flowing robes, support the portico of the Temple of Hercules, but the porticos and colonnades of the other structures are formed of massive Doric and Ionic pillars, whose flutings and capitals are still measurably perfect, notwithstanding the centuries that have gone over them and the sieges they have suffered.
The prismatic flutings of the one, and the broader zones of the other, are as if stereotyped they undergo, in their fundamental outlines, no modification, though varying in relative intensity from star to star.
