serving
the "city of a hundred gates," Theveste (Tebessa), in the interior had been

Wind blown and nearly beaten out;

Elizabeth Haight - Essays on Greek Romances |

All travellers at first incline
Where'er they see the fairest sign;
And if they find the
chambers
neat,
And like the liquor and the meat,
Will call again and recommend
The Angel Inn to every friend
What though the painting grows decayed,
The house will never lose its trade:
Nay, though the treach'rous tapster Thomas
Hangs a new angel two doors from us,
As fine as daubers' hands can make it,
In hopes that strangers may mistake it,
We think it both a shame and sin,
To quit the true old Angel Inn.

hatred of physiologically botched
—that is to say, barren—women for those of their
sisters who are well constituted: the fight against
"man " is always only a means, a pretext, a piece
of strategy.

They knew that life gains from art not merely spirituality, depth
of thought and feeling, soul-turmoil or soul-peace, but that she can
form herself on the very lines and colours of art, and can reproduce the
dignity of
Pheidias
as well as the grace of Praxiteles.
