Nature, they say,. doth dote, And cannot make a man Save on some worn-out plan, Repeating us by rote: For him her Old- World moulds aside she threw, And, choosing sweet clay from the breast Of the unexhausted West, With stuff untainted shaped a hero new, Wise, steadfast in the strength of God, and true.

All that we know is that it is such conceptions as this that "light the way of kings to dusty death.
Seite 19 - Puritan," however, endures to illustrate Saint'Gaudens's aptitude in the interpretation of a bygone personality and in the treatment of unconventional costume ; and it is a brib liant statue. The stalwart old New^Englander advances toward us with energetic tread, his stout staff seeming to ring upon the ground, and the clutch of his fingers upon the Bible under his arm bespeaking the ardent and dogmatic religionist. The wide brim of the peaked hat shades the face of a man of iron will. The long and...
Seite 30 - ... those who fear realism in art as they fear the plague, but which carries its own recommendation to those conscious of the importance of realistic principles when they are properly handled. They are handled with excellent judgment in the Farragut. To call it breezy would be to overstate the case, but it is true that Saint-Gaudens produced on this occasion a figure instinct with the energy of a man fronting perils in the open air, amid great winds and under a vast sky.
