If you took it in connection with a certain resolute amiability about her smile, you would be entirely prepared to hear her tell Portia that she was reading a paper on Modern Tendencies before the Pierian Club this afternoon. A very real person, nevertheless, you couldn't doubt that.
And lastly, with Pierian pipe he was making the pasture lands resound, black Atropos, alas, broke off the work of joy. For him ungrateful Florence bore the dismal fruit of exile, harsh fatherland to her own bard. But Ravenna's piety rejoices to have gathered him into the bosom of Guido Novello, her illustrious chief. So far Boccaccio.
We used to talk sonnets together, and Verlaine. Just then I was trying to run a pipe from the Pierian spring." "You were on the floor with her," said Octavia, undeflected, "five times at the Hammersmiths'." "Hammersmiths' what?" questioned Teddy, vacuously. "Ball ball," said Octavia, viciously. "What were we talking of?" "Eyes, I thought," said Teddy, after some reflection; "and elbows."
From there he wrote to his mother, "I am penetrating into the inmost recesses of the Muses; climbing high Olympus, visiting the green pastures of Parnassus, and drinking deep from Pierian Springs." This is terrible language for a child of fourteen. A boy who should talk like that now would be regarded with anxious concern by his loving parents.
I had acquired here but a modicum of that learning which was supposed to flow from this "Pierian Spring," but I rejoiced in the fact that I had cast away forever my belief in the "total depravity" of the human race, that in "Adam's fall we sin-ned all, that in Cain's murder, we sin-ned furder," and could now look hopefully upon my fellow-men in the full assurance that

In fancy I can almost hear him now, exclaiming "Harp? Harp? Lyre? Pen and ink, boy, you mean! Muse, boy, Muse? Your nurse's daughter, you mean! Pierian spring? Oh aye! the cloister-pump, I suppose!" Nay certain introductions, similes, and examples, were placed by name on a list of interdiction.
In the Olympian range, also, was Mount Pie'rus, where was the Pierian fountain, one of the sacred resorts of the Muses, so often mentioned by the poets, and to which POPE, with gentle sarcasm, refers when he says, A little learning is a dangerous thing: Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. Thessaly.
"The Pierian? Were you at Harvard?" Andrews nodded. "So was I." "Isn't that a coincidence?" said Sheffield. "I'm so glad I just insisted on your coming in." "What year were you?" asked Lieutenant Bleezer, with a faint change of tone, drawing a finger along his scant black moustache. "Fifteen." "I haven't graduated yet," said the lieutenant with a laugh. "What I wanted to ask you, Mr.
For it don't use chain-shot words like 'pharmacopia' and 'Pierian, and so on, that is neither Greek nor Latin, nor good English, nor vulgar tongue. And more than that, it shows you what to do. And the woods, and the springs, and the soil is full of its medicines and potions.
