It may be more convenient to get the mat or inner moulding from a framer, or have it made by your carpenter, with a groove behind to hold a glass. Here are also picture-frames of pretty effect, and very simply made. This should also be varnished, then it will take a rich, yellow tinge, which harmonizes admirably with chromos, and lightens up engravings to singular advantage.
"Of course! Now, if they don't frighten those to whom they appear, they are frightened by them; witness M. de Turenne, whose ghosts proved to be counterfeiters. Do you know that story?" "No." "I'll tell it to you some day; don't let's get mixed up. That is just why, when they decide to appear which is seldom ghosts select stormy nights, when it thunders, lightens and blows; that's their scenery."
Eglantine's shop-window; and at night, when the gas is lighted, and the washballs are illuminated, and the lambent flame plays fitfully over numberless bottles of vari-coloured perfumes now flashes on a case of razors, and now lightens up a crystal vase, containing a hundred thousand of his patent tooth-brushes the effect of the sight may be imagined.
To a subtile sense, a sense heightened by sympathy, those sudden fervors of phrase, gone ere one can say it lightens, that show us Macbeth groping among the complexities of thought in his conscience-clouded mind, and reveal the intricacy rather than enlighten it, while they leave the eye darkened to the literal meaning of the words, yet make their logical sequence, the grandeur of the conception, and its truth to Nature clearer than sober daylight could.
Thus Spencer and Gillen describe the Nathagura or fire-ceremony of the Warramunga tribe of Central Australia, a festival taken part in by both sexes, in which all the ordinary rules of social life are broken, a kind of Saturnalia in which, however, there is no sexual license, for sexual license is, it need scarcely be said, no essential part of the orgy, even when the orgy lightens the burden of sexual constraints.
'I shall be happy, Mr Rokesmith, returned Bella, 'to be of the least use; for I feel, after the serious scene of to-day, that I am useless enough in this world. 'Don't say that, urged the Secretary. 'Oh, but I mean that, said Bella, raising her eyebrows. 'No one is useless in this world, retorted the Secretary, 'who lightens the burden of it for any one else.
A sense of forgiveness lays the sick head on a pillow softer than downs; lightens sorrow's heaviest burdens; makes poverty rich beyond the wealth of banks; spoils death of his sting; arms the child of God against the ills of life; and, lifting him up above its trials, makes him like some lofty mountain, at whose feet the lake may be lashed into foaming billows, and adown whose seamed and rugged sides clouds may fall in gloomy folds, but whose head, shooting up into the calm blue heavens, reposes in unbroken peace, rejoices in perpetual sunshine.
Once a week the German daily of the highest class lightens up its heavy columns that is, it thinks it lightens them up with a profound, an abysmal, book criticism; a criticism which carries you down, down, down into the scientific bowels of the subject for the German critic is nothing if not scientific and when you come up at last and scent the fresh air and see the bonny daylight once more, you resolve without a dissenting voice that a book criticism is a mistaken way to lighten up a German daily.
Get thee for Meg Johnston thy gossip, dame, and let us be merry together. Meg is a woman of a thousand. What a lusty hold she takes of a brimming bicker, and how her eye lightens and brightens as she surveys the swimming heaven under her nose! Come, dame what ails?"
