He entered chambers vaster than are told of in Arabian fable, and peopled with habitants more wondrous than Afrite or Peri. For there he beheld, in long- continued ranks, those mysterious forms full of existence without life, that perform with facility, and in an instant, what man can fulfil only with difficulty and in days.
"Yer cawn't see 'im. Blimey, 'ow much more of it, I should like to know. Gerroutovit, cawn't yer! You and yer caps." And he added a searching expletive by way of concluding the sentence fittingly. After which he slipped back and slammed the door, leaving Fenn waiting outside like the Peri at the gate of Paradise. His resemblance to the Peri ceased after the first quarter of a minute.
For, to know whether there be anything written upon this or no, I have made use of a good part of that which Master Francisco di Nianto, the Tuscan, sets down, who hath written the manner of reading letters that do not appear; that which Zoroastes published, Peri grammaton acriton; and Calphurnius Bassus, De literis illegibilibus.
For though the fine arts are not necessarily imitative or representative, for their essence is in being +peri genesin+ occupied in the actual production of beautiful form or colour, still, the highest of them are appointed also to relate to us the utmost ascertainable truth respecting visible things and moral feelings: and this pursuit of fact is the vital element of the art power; that in which alone it can develop itself to its utmost.

Do you think she did?" he challenged suddenly. "No," cried Pearl, who had been listening intently.
Burleigh would give them the use of one of the private parlors a stipulation speedily complied with; and soon she had nearly all the small folk in the hotel gathered round her. "I shall stand without, like the 'Peri at the gate," Stanton found a chance to say.
