While he shared with the Venetians their sensibility to nature, he had none of their sensuousness or love of pomp. In idyllic painting of a truly great type I know of nothing more delightful than his figures of young musicians going to the marriage feast of Mary, nothing more graceful than the genius ivy-crowned and seated at the foot of the cross.
In a word, in the domain of truth and morality, sensuousness must have nothing to determine; but in the sphere of happiness, form may find a place, and the instinct of play prevail.
On the occasions when the king and queen drove out, the royal carriage was generally attended by a second, in which was ex-empress Isabella, at the time on a visit to the royal palace, though she makes her home at present in Paris. She is fat, dowdy, and vulgar in appearance, with features indicative of sensuousness and indulgence in coarse appetites.
Snatches of song were heard, and voices of men who had had a full meal and had "taken observations" as looking through the bottom of a glass of liquor was called by people with naval spirit were mixed in careless carousal. All this jarred on Dyck Calhoun and gave revolt to his senses. Yet he was only half-conscious of the great sensuousness of the scene as he passed through it.
But the consequences will be quite different when sensuousness and reason have each of them a different interest.
Sensuous nature will always fight the enemy that makes it suffer, but it will never fight against itself. On the other hand, the contest with affection is a contest with sensuousness, and consequently presupposes something that is distinct from sensuous nature.
There have been great fat men whose spiritual energy came forth to intensify the vibrations of the race, to say nothing of their own poundage. It is less a matter of weight after all than texture; still their fat was a handicap. These facts are indubitable: Sensuousness makes weight in bulls and men; all the habits that tend to put on flesh tend to stifle the expression of the inner life.
But the consequences will be quite different when sensuousness and reason have each of them a different interest.
The former curves of sensuousness were now modulated to lines of devotional passion.
Only in those later pieces, the Venere del Pardo of the Louvre and the Nymph and Shepherd of Vienna, is there a moment of pause, a return to the painted poem of the earlier times, with its exquisite naïveté and mitigated sensuousness. National Gallery.
