Stranica 168 - Phrygian cap, is seated on the shore in loving contemplation of " the face that launched a thousand ships, And burnt the topmost towers of Ilium.
Stranica 255 - 6 for this polygonal masonry is the perfecting of that ruder mode of construction.7 Yet that this smooth-surfaced, closely-joined style, as seen in the walls of Cosa, is also of early origin, is proved, not only by numerous instances of it on very ancient sites in Greece and Italy — some referred to as marvels of antiquity by the ancients themselves — but also by the primitive style of its gateways, and the absence of the arch in connection with it.8 The fact of the Romans adopting this style...
Stranica 372 - I'm ravished ! I'm rapt ! Heav'n finds me admissible ! Lost in an ecstasy ! blinded ! invisible ! Hearken, all earth ! We, Bacchus, in the might of our great mirth, To all who reverence us, and are right thinkers ; — Hear, all ye drinkers !

The arch is skew, or oblique ; and the gate is double, like those of Volterra and...
