The road makes a long and easy descent into the little town of Gylingden, and down this we were going at an exhilarating pace, and the jingle of the vehicle sounded like sledge-bells in my ears, and its swaying and jerking were pleasant and life-like.
Am I to bear all this, when yonder fire will insure me from the whole? No! There go the tales! May my hand wither when it would write another!" These extracts set forth the mixed emotions of young authorship in a life-like manner. They have the stamp of personal experience.
Luxuriant palms decorating the labyrinthian garden appeared to be endless in number casting their shade over hundreds of life-like figures in gaudy costumes. Each of these groups in wax, was multiplied again and again in the perspective of mirrors.
Voyag'd th' unreal, vast, unbounded deep Of horrible confusion. Paradise Lost, x. 470. and left it the chaos which he found it. Milton has elicited from similar elements a conception so life-like that his poetical version has inseparably grafted itself upon, if it has not taken the place of, the historical narrative of the original creation. So much Milton has effected by his skilful treatment.
The process by which the early human types were gradually improved and made more life-like, by a continuous struggle with technical difficulties, by constant and direct observation of nature, and by the building up of an artistic tradition in different schools and families, is a question that concerns the history of art rather than our present study.
Only after an appreciable hesitation did George see through the disguise and recover himself sufficiently to remark with the proper nonchalance: "Hallo, Agg! What's the meaning of this?" "You're before your time," said she, shutting the door. While he took off his overcoat Agg walked up the studio. She made an astonishingly life-like young man.
Domestic life, if it may still be termed domestic, will seek its separate corners, and never gather itself into groups. The easy gossip; the merry yet unambitious Jest; the life-like, practical discussion of real matters in a casual way; the soul of truth which is so often incarnated in a simple fireside word, will disappear from earth.
The designs were left unfinished at his death, and the Ringhiera was never painted. The refectory is a long vaulted hall, and the frescoed table, with its life-size figures, fills the whole arch of the wall opposite the door. One's natural impulse on entering it is to exclaim, "How life-like!"
Not that the princely thrones were wanting in great men in ancient India, for we find abundant traces of them in Hindu folk-lore and poetry, but these sources do not extend to establishing the realistic element in details and furnishing life-like portraits of the men themselves. That the Hindu has ever been but little interested in historical matters is a generally recognized fact.
Dress'd in robes of gorgeous hue Brown and gold with crimson blent, The forest to the waters blue Its own enchanting tints has lent. In their dark depths, life-like glowing, We see a second forest growing, Each pictur'd leaf and branch bestowing A fairy grace on that twin wood, Mirror'd within the crystal flood.
