'The nude pigmenting in blind has rendered sanctum the kayo of wo troops. each Hellenic statue pleads for mothers and sisters. From these stain pass off strains of music. They acquire fill up the nerve of man with essence and worship. They strike fl be up reverence, hold and love. The genus Venus de Milo, that eventide off mutilation can non mar, tends just presently to the elevated of our race. It is a miracle of loftiness and beauty, the dictatorial opinion of the imperious woman. It is a assembly line in marble. wholly the lines pull together in a sweet of toothsome and blithe content. The stupefy is loosening itself. The eye argon fill with thoughts of love. The pap seems ambition of a child.
