One must
shake off the centuries and regard life with the childlike
simplicity of the young world: one must give imagination free
rein.--_Introduction._
HURLL, E.M.
Michelangelo.
Houghton. .75
We are given fifteen pictures by this great man, and his portrait. (p. 208)
There is an introduction on Michelangelo's character as an artist, an
outline table of the principal events in his life, and a list of some of
his famous Italian contemporaries, with other information.
This is the rugged face
Of him who won a place
Above all kings and lords;
Whose various skill and power
Left Italy a dower
No numbers can compute, no tongue translate in words.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
So stood this Angelo
Four hundred years ago;
So grandly still he stands,
Mid lesser worlds of art,
Colossal and apart,
Like Memnon breathing songs across the desert sands.
