Whereupon, growing in courage, Baccio drew, and caused Agostino to engrave, a large plate one of the largest, indeed, that had ever been engraved up to that time full of women clothed, and of naked men who are slaughtering the little innocents by command of King Herod.
And when he was quaestor in Sicily, and was making an offering of silver plate to the gods, and had inscribed his two names, Marcus and Tullius, instead of the third he jestingly told the artificer to engrave the figure of a vetch by them. Thus much is told us about his name.
"It will make a nice jewel casket," put in Tom. "When you settle down with Dora, you can give if to her for her dia " "Oh, stow that, Tom! If Dora ever does take me for a husband, it won't be for some years to come, you must know that." "Let me take a look at the box," put in Sam. "I never got the chance to look it over carefully." "It's odd that they should engrave it inside," went on Dick.
"Say, stranger," interposed this person, by no means unwilling to engrave upon his memory this newly-acquired form of greeting, "the emotion is doubtless all-pressing, but in my ornate and flower-laden tongue we have a salutation, 'Slowly, slowly; walk slowly, which seems to be of far-seeing application." "That's so," remarked the one by my side. "Separate it with the teeth, inch by inch."
This anecdote may naturally lead here to the consideration of the question did Dürer engrave the cuts which bear his name, or did he only draw them upon the wood for the engraver? It is generally considered that all cuts bearing an artist’s mark are engraved by that artist, but this is in reality an error resulting from modern practice.
Lushington's translation in "Records of the past," edited by Dr. S. Birch. A silence as of the grave reigned in the vast hall, Rameses fixed his eyes on the poet, as though he would engrave his features on his very soul, and compare them with those of another which had dwelt there unforgotten since the day of Kadesh. Beyond a doubt his preserver stood before him.
Bill Manton was a big swaggering fellow, who, vibrating constantly to and fro between tavern and graveyard, hinted to John that in becoming his apprentice he would have to write the mortuary poetry as well as to engrave it upon stone; and the notion was so pleasing that he made a desperate effort to get initiated into the art and mysteries of stone-cutting.
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth My servant The BRANCH. 9. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10.
Farewell, then, until we meet again!" "Farewell until we meet again!" They shook hands once more, and gazed at each other with a smile which lighted up their faces like the last beam of the setting sun. Then Anna, walking backward in order to see him still, and to engrave his image deeply on her heart, crossed the threshold as the jailer hastily closed the door behind her.
Love and death and memory keep charge for us in silence of some beloved names. It is the crowning glory of genius, the final miracle and transcendent gift of poetry, that it can add to the number of these, and engrave on the very heart of our remembrance fresh names and memories of its own creation.
