All that his own eyes consciously beheld was Maryllia Maryllia, the dainty, pretty, delicate feminine creature who seemed created out of the finest mortal and spiritual essences, smoking! That cigarette stuck in her pretty mouth, vulgarised her appearance at once, coarsened her made her look as if she were indeed the rapid 'Maryllia Van' his friend Bishop Brent had written of.
English scenery is getting spoilt and vulgarised to such a degree that there'll soon be none of it left to sketch. Where are the beautiful villages of thirty years ago? Gone most of them! The thatched roofs replaced by corrugated iron, and the hedges clipped close to please the motorists. I defy anybody to make a successful picture out of a clipped hedge!
They had proved, successively, these impressions all of Musette and Francine, but Musette and Francine vulgarised by the larger evolution of the type irresistibly sharp: he had "taken up," by what was at the time to be shrinkingly gathered, as it was scantly mentioned, with one ferociously "interested" little person after another.
She was at once unfaithful and jealous and full of whims about our meetings; she was careless of our secret, and vulgarised our relationship by intolerable interpretations; except for some glowing moments of gratification, except for the recurrent and essentially vicious desire that drew us back to each other again, we both fretted at a vexatious and unexpectedly binding intimacy.
Burns came in, stick and hat in hand, incredibly vulgarised by his smart shore togs, with a jaunty air and an odious twinkle in his eye. Being asked to sit down he laid his hat and stick on the table and after we had talked of ship affairs for a little while: "I've been hearing pretty tales on shore about that ship-chandler fellow who snatched the job from you so neatly, sir."
This is perhaps exactly why the whole picture of our existence at the Pas-de-Calais watering place pleads to me now for the full indulgence, what would be in other words every touch of tenderness workable, after all the years, over the lost and confused and above all, on their own side, poor ultimately rather vulgarised and violated little sources of impression: items and aspects these which while they in their degree and after their sort flourished we only asked to admire, or at least to appreciate, for their rewarding extreme queerness.
Yet she was intensely human too; and if her eyes had not been set on the greater glory, the other thought might have vulgarised her mind, made her end and goal sordid the descent of a nature rather than its ascension. When Nancy came, the lesser idea, the stake, took on a new importance, for now it seemed to her that it was her duty to secure for the child its rightful heritage.
She had been a mannequin in a Bond Street shop before the war. But was it fair was it just to engender a love of luxury to introduce her to all that her nature vulgarised by unfamiliarity coveted most! If he had proposed likely enough she would have been generous and refused him. But he didn't propose he took it for granted that they were no more to each other than the moment dictated.
It is a pet subject of the Salon. These men have vulgarised an epic, and smirched poetry and painting alike for the sake of a tawdry sensation. But enough: let us look at one more. Mantegna's is worth looking at. It is a pen drawing, often repeated, best known by the fine engraving he finally made of it. I think it Is the best murder picture in the world.
Laura turned an attentive eye on Polly, on her high and red cheek-bones, the extravagant fringe that vulgarised all her honest face, the Sunday dress of stone-coloured alpaca, profusely trimmed with magenta ribbons. "I will I will like her!" she said to herself "I am a horrid, snobbish, fastidious little wretch." But her spirits had sunk.
