Sida 115 - The Egyptian granite was beautifully encrusted with the precious green marble of Numidia; the perpetual stream of hot water was poured into the capacious basins through so many wide mouths of bright and massy silver; and the meanest Roman could purchase, with a small copper coin, the daily enjoyment of a scene of pomp and luxury which might excite the envy of the kings of Asia.
Sida 123 - What ancient bards in hall and bower have told, Attemper'd to the lyre, your voice employ; Such the pleas'd ear will drink with silent joy. But oh! forbear that dear disastrous name, To sorrow sacred, and secure of fame : My bleeding bosom sickens at the sound, And every piercing note inflicts a wound.
Sida 179 - Nature hath furnished one part of the Earth, and man another. The treasures of time lie high, in Urnes, Coynes, and Monuments, scarce below the roots of some vegetables. Time hath endlesse rarities, and shows of all varieties ; which reveals old things in heaven, makes new discoveries in earth, and even earth itself a discovery.

Sida 148 - THE history of architecture, like that of other arts, marks out the progression of manners. Among the Dorians it carried with it the austerity of their national character, which displayed itself in their language and music.

Sida 58 - ... taste are ornaments, not substitutes of form, expression, and character, and, when they usurp that title, degenerate into splendid faults. Such were the principles on which Apelles formed his Venus, or, rather, the personification of Female Grace, the wonder of art, the despair of artists ; whose outline baffled every attempt at emendation, while imitation shrunk from the purity, the force, the brilliancy, the evanescent gradations of the tints.
Sida 10 - Tiburtiue villas consists in the names which they bear. These rustic and grand substructions, however, crown the hill so admirably, that , whatever they originally were , they now appear the master object of Tivoli, and prove how happily the ancient architects consulted the elevation of site and the point of view.
