For the second time that almost satyr-like grin on Seaman's face revolted him. "And what of my own work?" Seaman helped himself to a liqueur. He was, as a rule, a moderate man, but this was the third time he had replenished his glass since his hasty meal. "My brain is weary, friend," he admitted, passing his hand over his forehead. "I have a great fatigue. The thoughts jump about.
From the tiny perfume-bottle laughed Aphrodite at her toilet, and, with bare-limbed Maenads in his train, Dionysus danced round the wine-jar on naked must-stained feet, while, satyr-like, the old Silenus sprawled upon the bloated skins, or shook that magic spear which was tipped with a fretted fir-cone, and wreathed with dark ivy. And no one came to trouble the artist at his work.
Kengyelesy was a little puny bit of a man with very light bright hair, white eyelashes, and a pointed chin made still more pointed by a long goatish beard. It always pleased him very much when his friends confidentially assured him that he had a perfect satyr-like countenance.
"Well, cut the margin off that print, or at any rate turn the margin down, fit it into the frame, and hang it up as if nothing had happened." Littimer looked at Chris with a puzzled expression for a moment, and then his features relaxed into a satyr-like grin. "Capital," he said, "I quite understand what you mean. And I must be there to see it, eh? yes, I must be there to see.
"And a modern newspaper is a circus," pronounced the satyr-like scholar. "Three-ring variety; all the latest stunts; list to the voice of the ballyhoo," said Masters. "Panem et circenses" pursued the mathematician, pleased with his simile, "to appease the howling rabble. But it is mostly circus, and very little bread that our emperors of the news give us."
The king raised his large blue eyes musingly to the busts placed upon the bookcases, and around the walls. They lingered long upon those of Homer, Plato, and D'Alembert; then turned to that of Voltaire, with its satyr-like face. "No, I do not believe it," he sadly responded.
They were all huddled in a cleft of the precipice, looking down in apparent surprise at the strangers. On a neighbouring height sat a big old satyr-like male, who had been placed there as a sentinel. Baboons are wise creatures, and invariably place sentinels on points of vantage when the females and their young are feeding on the nutritious bulbs and roots that grow in the valleys.
I often pass in the street women whose faces look like memorial medals idealized images of what they were in the flesh. And the masks of some of the men those queer tormented Gallic masks, crushed-in and squat and a little satyr-like look like the bronzes of the Naples Museum, burnt and twisted from their baptism of fire.
SATYRS. In the spiritual world the satyr-like form is the form of dissolute adultery, 521. SAVED, to be. All in the universe who acknowledge a God, and, from a religious principle, shun evil as sins against Him, are saved, 343. SCIENCE is a principle of knowledges, 130. There is no end to science, 185.
In that languid figure there is something rude and satyr-like, something akin to the rugged hillside on which it lies. His whole form is gathered into an expression of mere expectation and reception; he has hardly strength enough to lift his finger to touch the finger of the creator; yet a touch of the finger-tips will suffice.
