Page 47 - Shakspeare did perfectly what jEschylus did partially ; but none before Turner had lifted the veil from the face of nature ; the majesty of the hills and forests had received no interpretation, and the clouds passed unrecorded from the face of the heaven which they adorned, and of the earth to which they ministered.

We read of BastienLepage, "His parents...
Page 87 - Segovia is an unmatched picture of the Middle Ages. You read its history on the old city walls with their eighty-three towers; in the domes and belfries of its churches; in the bare and blank ruins of its deserted monasteries; and in the battlemented towers of its noble mansions.
Page 7 - BIOGRAPHICAL JOAQUÍN SOROLLA, the son of humble parents, was born at Valencia. Spain, on February 27, 1863. Two years later, the cholera epidemic which was raging in that city carried off both his father and his mother, and the orphan, together with his infant sister, was adopted by his aunt upon the mother's side, Doña Isabel Bastida, and her husband, Don José Piqueres. When Joaquín...
