The gods of Homer are, indeed, full of individual character; but we have seen how in the fifth century, though the greatest sculptors declared it was the gods of Homer that they represented, these representations were idealised and raised above those human touches in which the individuality is most conspicuous.
Henry knew that his father was hurt by his sudden decision to leave Ballymartin, and he felt sorry for the old man's disappointment, but he felt, too, that he could not bear to stay near Hamilton's farm at present, knowing that Sheila, whom he had loved and idealised, was likely to meet him in the roads at any moment, a baby in her arms, perhaps at her breast, and a husband somewhere near at hand.
The origin of the vast majority of the claimants is only too well known, or shrewdly suspected: these are copies, more or less unfaithful, of older pictures; idealised portraits, based upon such older ones, or upon the Bust; genuine portraits of unknown persons, valued for some slight or imaginary resemblance to the Bust, or to such older portraits, or for having passed as Shakespeare's, and thus offering the means of selling dear what had been bought cheap; impostures.
To his wife his inward graces idealised his outward seeming; but others, noting his peculiarities, and deceived by his modesty, saw little that was remarkable and much that was singular in the staid professor.
Nor can you return to its pages without realising that, so far from being 'the evolution of a purely intellectual conception, Jonathan Wild is a magnificently idealised and ironical portrait of a great man. THEY plied the same trade, each with incomparable success. By her, as by him, the art of the fence was carried to its ultimate perfection.
The minority is generally idealised, sometimes by its servants, always by itself. But my sympathies are generally, I confess, with the impotent and even invisible majority.
Though critics to-day still ingenuously confound an artist's subject with his treatment of it, and prefer scenes of life to be idealised rather than realised by writers, we have advanced a little since the days of the poet Montgomery, and it would be difficult now to find anybody writing so confidently "Unfortunately the taste or circumstances of Defoe led him mostly into low life," however much the critic might believe it.
Naturally I resist that as a complete solution. Anyhow, I had a sense of inexorable need, of distress and insufficiency that was unendurable, and for a time this aeronautical engineering allayed it.... In the end of this particular crisis of which I tell so badly, I idealised Science.
He is, in fact, and to speak plainly, something of a sucker; but then he is a sucker idealised and refined, the flower of the family. Charles Cotton, the ingenious young friend of Walton, was all wrong in calling the grayling "one of the deadest-hearted fishes in the world."
Nothing could be more erroneous. All that the Fathers meant in these passages was that in the state of nature the idealised Golden Age of the pagans, or the Garden of Eden of the Christians there was no individual ownership of goods. The very moment, however, that man fell from that ideal state, communism became impossible, simply on account of the change that had taken place in man's own nature.
