It had also affected the old fishermen's hard complexions, until one fancied that when Death claimed them it could only be with the aid, not of any slender modern dart, but the good serviceable harpoon of a seventeenth century woodcut.
And at the end of the long, last uphill furrow, see how the setting sun shines on "God's Acre!" THE PRIEST "Images of Death" Woodcut series The second selection, the Priest, is its own proof, if any were needed, of how sharply Holbein distinguished cloth from cloth.
The crisis seemed to Benjamin Franklin so momentous that at the end of his printed account of the capture of the post he added a rude woodcut of a rattlesnake cut into thirteen pieces, with the motto, addressed to the colonies, "Join or die." This was no ordinary intercolonial difficulty, to be patched up by agreements between the frontier commanders.
THOREAU'S thin, penetrating, big-nosed face, even in a bad woodcut, conveys some hint of the limitations of his mind and character. With his almost acid sharpness of insight, with his almost animal dexterity in act, there went none of that large, unconscious geniality of the world's heroes.
A more crystalline night, more full of fulgent stars, was never seen, stars everywhere, but mostly scattered in large sparkles on the snow. Big Christian went in front, tugging toboggans by their strings, as Gulliver, in some old woodcut, drew the fleets of Lilliput.

The Famous Young Author Works by Night. The Inspiration of Genius by the Hob." Theodora read it through, carefully, deliberately, down to the final statements in regard to Browning. She wondered at first.
Ariosto was tall and stout, with a dark complexion, bright black eyes, black and curling hair, aquiline nose, and shoulders broad but a little stooping. His aspect was thoughtful, and his gestures deliberate. Titian, besides painting his portrait, designed that which appeared in the woodcut of the author's own third edition of his poem, which has been copied into Mr. Panizzi's.
It had fallen upon a woodcut of the Common Hog, in spite of which Frank solemnly kissed it, and turned Maude's trouble into laughter. 'Now you are all right again. I do hate to see you crying, though you never look more pretty. But tell me, dear, what was your ambition? 'To know as much as any woman in England about housekeeping. To know as much as Mrs. Beeton.
