We must at one time quite have haunted the Pantheon, where we doubtless could better than elsewhere sink to contemplative, to ruminative rest: Haydon's huge canvases covered the walls I wonder what has become now of The Banishment of Aristides, attended to the city gate by his wife and babe, every attitude and figure in which, especially that of the foreshortened boy picking up stones to shy at the all-too-just, stares out at me still.
Here am I, studying at the Academy, after vowing I'd not waste money on myself at all. Elinor is dropping half her studies there and starting on an entirely new course Interior Decoration and Stained Glass under Mr. Bruce Haydon's personal supervision; and as for Mrs. Shelly and Miss Jinny they are so far out of their plans I don't believe they'll ever get back into them again."
Haydon's daughters said things like this to their mother, but she never stopped to hear them, and the girls did not dare to make their meaning very clear. And so they could only go on hating Lena hard, together. They could not stop her from going back with them to Bridgepoint. Lena was very sick on the voyage. She thought, surely before it was over that she would die.
'You must see it, said he, 'even if you come to town on purpose." The reader of Haydon's Life will remember that Sir William Elford, in conjunction with a Plymouth banker named Tingecombe, ultimately purchased the picture.
Haydon was now panting to begin his first picture, his natural self-confidence having been strengthened by a letter from Wilkie, who reported that Lord Mulgrave, with whom he was staying, was much interested in what he had heard of Haydon's ambitions.
And into Harlan's eyes came a gleam of that contempt which had always seized him when in the presence of men who feared him. And yet, had not Harlan possessed the faculty of reading character at a glance; had he not had that uncanny instinct of divining the thoughts of men who meditated violence, he could not have known that Haydon feared him. For Haydon's fear was not abject.
To the great astonishment of both critics and public, Haydon's story proved the more interesting of the two. 'Haydon's book is the work of the year, writes Miss Mitford.
Barbara Morgan goes with the ranch no one interferin'." Color surged into Haydon's face. "You don't want much, do you?" he sneered. "I want what's comin' to me what I'm goin' to take, if I come in. That's my proposition. You can take it or leave it." Haydon was silent for an instant, studying Harlan's face. What he saw there brought a frown to his own.
Haydon petulantly refused both offers, and thus after three years' work, and incurring debts to the amount of six hundred pounds, he found himself penniless, with his picture returned on his hands. This disappointment was only the natural result of his own impracticable temperament, but to Haydon's exaggerative sense the whole world seemed joined in a conspiracy against him.
The public cannot be forced to support what it neither understands nor admires, and, in a democratic state, the Government is bound to consult the taste of its masters. Haydon's financial embarrassments were perhaps the least of his trials. As has been seen, he had fallen into the hands of the money-lenders in early youth, and he had never been able to extricate himself from their clutches.
