SHADES OF EVENING

THE LEVIATHAN

" He maketh the deep to boil like a pot.
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would
think the deep to be hoary."

CUPID'S ALLEY
" Strange Dance! 'Tis free to Rank and Rags;
Here no distinction flatters.
Here riches shakes its money-bags,
And Poverty its tatters;
Church, Army, Navy, Physic, L a w ; —
Maid, Mistess, Master, Valet;
Long locks, grey hairs, bald heads, and a',—
They bob—in ' Cupid's Alley.'"
Austin Dobson.
(The picture is in the National Gallery of British Art)

 A COURT IN THE ALHAMBRA

BASTINADO

THE FAIRY WIFE
" In a mild and steady light, which came from no
illumination of moon or stars, but seemed to be
interfused with the air, in the strong, warm wind
which wrapped the fell-top upon a sward of bent
grass which ran toward the tarn and ended in swept reeds,
 he saw six young women dancing in
a ring. Not to any music that he could hear did
they move, nor was the rhythm of their movement
either ordered or wild." ...(Maurice Hewlett)
