Excerpt from The Transit of Venus Now what I want is a dinner and dance that will make little old New York sit up and take notice, and young Stoneman, in the manner of cigarette-smokers, blew encircling wreaths around the last syllable.

Excerpt from Venus: To the Venus of Melos You are not a vain and sterile statue, the image of some unreal god dess of the Empyrean. Ready for action, you breathe, you are a wom an: and that is your glory. You are goddess only in name; the myth ological nectar does not run in your veins. What is divine in you is the infinite love of your sculptor for na ture. More ardent and above all more patient than other men, he was able to lift a corner of the veil too heavy'for their idle hands.)

Excerpt from Homage to Venus Dione. It was Hesiod who preserved for us the more primitive legend of Venus born from the waves of the sea. This is the Oriental story (lakshmi too is born of the churning of the ocean) and it is also the more pro found, in spite of its crudity or perhaps because of it. The ancient East had many intuitions of the nature of things; and modern science often does no more than clothe in precise language what the symbolism of mythology had already apprehended and expressed. The Heavenly Seed falling into the Sea of Matter is a pregnant allegory that persists even in the minds of materialists. Yet this is but half the story. For Venus is not the Goddess of Life but the Goddess of Love. And love is the conjunction of individual Opposites. Venus arose from the foam at the water's edge, a creature of sea and earth. From the whirl pool of life as it broke upon land, Love was born. Ever since the first dawn of thought gleamed upon the dark landscape of the instincts, man has regarded woman with a mixture of attraction and awe. Woman as the Gate of Life; Woman as the Object of Desire: between these two poles have his emotions swung. She was at once the great Mother and the Universal Mistress; and in both capacities charged with mm. The body of woman has always been heavy with magic, mysterious as life itself. Somehow it was more deeply imbedded in Nature than man's own body, more responsive to its rhythms. And if individual woman, how much more the Great Goddess.

Excerpt from Sappho and the Vigil of Venus The plan on which the following translations have been attempted is, I believe, original, and, I freely admit, audacious. The translator has essayed to weave together into connected wholes fragments which, being in the same metre, and, being conceiv ably connected in a sequence, or sequences, of thought, may possibly have been parts of one poem.

Excerpt from The Bronze Venus But it was a remarkable room to have been created by a man Who had begun life as a navvy, and it argued enthusiasms and emotions rarely to be found in that valuable class of the com munity. Josiah Fairbrother was a self - made man who knew what to do with his money - a mm waif. By some streak of heredity, not necessary to investigate, he had been born with a sense of beauty, and when his other more practical endowments of mind raised him from the railway and road-making, he developed aesthetic tastes and employed a gigantic fortune in the manner that his bent inclined.
