He eyed the well-scraped over-mantel askance and saw, with scarcely concealed astonishment, a fine, old, carved wooden seat carried out of doors to make room for an American rocking-chair. He turned his head away almost in anger when he saw that the beautiful brown wainscoting was being painted an ultra-marine blue.
I have no excuse to offer for this long and egotistical anecdote, except the pendant which Maloney used to attach to his ultra-marine stories "The point of it is, that it's strictly true." Another and a much more reputable Council of Three sat that night in Miss Tresilyan's apartments. Mr. Fullarton represented the male element there, and was in great force.
"It accounts for it all all there's something divine about his art, soulful, unsatisfactory, yearning, dim hearkening on the void horizon, vague murmuring to the spirit out of ultra-marine distances and far-sounding cataclysms of uncreated space oh, if he if, he has he ever tried distemper?" The captain answered up with energy: "Not if he knows himself! But his dog has, and "
The sight of a line of battle of twenty thousand Isosceles suddenly facing about, and exchanging the sombre black of their bases for the orange of the two sides including their acute angle; the militia of the Equilateral Triangles tricoloured in red, white, and blue; the mauve, ultra-marine, gamboge, and burnt umber of the Square artillerymen rapidly rotating near their vermillion guns; the dashing and flashing of the five-coloured and six-coloured Pentagons and Hexagons careering across the field in their offices of surgeons, geometricians and aides-de-camp all these may well have been sufficient to render credible the famous story how an illustrious Circle, overcome by the artistic beauty of the forces under his command, threw aside his marshal's baton and his royal crown, exclaiming that he henceforth exchanged them for the artist's pencil.
Arts flourished under Charles I. To Vandyck and Anne Carlisle he gave ultra-marine to the value of twenty-five hundred dollars. Artemisia Gentileschi, from Rome, realized a splendid income from her work; and, although forty-five years old when she came to England, she was greatly admired, and history says made many conquests.
One more long night-ride over steep, broken forest-ground enlivened by certain ultra-marine reminiscences of my guide, who had been a sort of land-buccaneer in California brought us to the farm, far in the bosom of the hills, where I found Shipley, buried in a deep sleep.
His partly disguised astonishment and dissent were not lost upon the crude but clever Christine. A new sense was opened up in her, and she felt somehow that the ultra-marine blue was not right, that the over-mantel had been spoiled, that the new walnut table was too noticeable, and that the American rocking-chair looked very common.
"The water in the Swiss lakes is limpid I suppose, Charlie, like most mountain streams?" observed Mr. Wyllys. "It is clear, sir; and in the heart of the Alps it has a very peculiar colour a blueish tinge from the glaciers, like molten lapis lazuli; entirely different from the deep, ultra-marine blue of the Mediterranean." "Have you any views of the Swiss lakes?" asked Elinor."
So, between him and Tom Madison, she was dragged up a steep path, and conducted into a gallery cut out in the living rock, growing gloomier and gloomier, till suddenly there was a spot of light on the sparkling floor, and Mary found herself beneath an opening through the mountain crown, right up into the sky, which, through the wild opening, looked of the deepest, most ultra-marine, almost purple blue, utterly beyond conception in the glory of intense colour, bringing only to her mind those most expressive, yet most inexpressive words, 'the body of heaven in His clearness. She felt, what she had often heard said, that to all mountain tops is given somewhat of the glory that dwelt on Sinai.
"They marched up and down the streets waving flags with the World's University colors ultra-marine and blue and they certainly made a lively place of Floresville. Andy made them a speech from the balcony of the Skyview Hotel, and the whole town was out celebrating. "In about two weeks the professors got the students disarmed and herded into classes.
