It is the pencil thrown luckily full upon the horse's mouth, to express the foam, •which the painter, with all his skill, could not perform without it.

Сторінка lxi - Poet ought to judge exactly when the colouring and expressions are perfect, and then to think their work is truly finished. Apelles said of Protogenes, that " he knew not when to give over." A work may be over-wrought as well as under-wrought : too much labour often takes away the spirit, by adding to the polishing ; so that there remains nothing but a dull correctness, a piece without any considerable faults, but with few beauties : for when the spirits are drawn off, there is nothing but a
Сторінка 128 - ... from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, in the following manner : " From the crown of the head to the forehead is the third part of a face. " The face begins at the root of the lowest hairs which are upon the forehead, and ends at the bottom of the chin. " The face is divided into three proportionable parts ; the first contains the forehead, the second the nose, and the third the mouth and the chin ; from the chin to the pit betwixt the collar-bones are two lengths of a nose.
