Paint Ball

harsh streetlight, my first vampire lover looked horribly white except for his eyes, which were shadowed pits. His dark thick hair and his dark clothing provided even more contrast, so much so that he looked as though he were enameled with luminescent paint, like a house sign. “I’ve been sitting in my car thinking about it,” I admitted. “But it’s too late.” “You should go.” He meant it. “Ah … that would be kind of leaving Eric in the lurch,” I said, and there might have been a bit of a…

School brought about a parallel transformation of landscape painting. The school derived its name from a village near the Forêt de Fontainebleau (Forest of Fontainebleau; p362), where Camille Corot and Jean-François Millet, among others, gathered to paint en plein air (in the open air). Corot is best known for his landscapes (The Bridge at Nantes, Chartres Cathedral); Millet took many of his subjects from peasant life (The Gleaners) and had a great influence on Van Gogh. LOCAL…

a present to the superintendent, in acknowledgment of her obliging mediation with the committee on my behalf, and which she had framed and glazed. “Well, that is beautiful, Miss Jane! It is as fine a picture as any Miss Reed’s drawingmaster could paint, let alone the young ladies themselves, who could not come near it: and have you learnt French?” “Yes, Bessie, I can both read it and speak it.” “And you can work on muslin and canvas?” “I can.” “Oh, you are quite a lady, Miss Jane! I knew…

the top down, and then lied about it—and suddenly I remembered the story about her that had eluded me that night at Daisy’s. At her first big golf tournament t here was a row that nearly reached the newspapers—a suggestion that she had moved her ball from a bad lie in the semi-final round. The thing approached the proportions of a scandal—then died away. A caddy retracted his statement and the only other witness admitted that he might have been mistaken. The incident and the name…

putting spurs to my poor beast, I made a dash for the opening to the pass which I could distinguish on the far side of the table land. The Indians had by this time discovered that I was alone and I was pursued with imprecations, arrows, and rifle balls. The fact that it is difficult to aim anything but imprecations accurately by moonlight, that they were upset by the sudden and unexpected manner of my advent, and that I was a rather rapidly moving target saved me from the various…

novels of Brazil’s literary tradition. The indigenous conflicts in the North, the 1964 military coup, student mobilizations, the transformation of the Catholic Church in the face of the country’s ills: it is through these and other issues that Callado paints a broad canvass of the tensions of his time in Quarup – the name of an indigenous ritual that celebrates the dead and brings them back to life. The book was adapted for film and directed by Ruy Guerra in 1989 (119 min.), and…

intersection of walls. These weights produced a catenary curve both in the arches and vaults. At that point, he took a picture that - turned around- presented the structure for columns and arches that Gaudí had been looking for. Gaudí would then paint over these photographs with gouache or pastel. The outline of the church defined, he recorded every single detail of the building; architectural, stylistic and decorative.[61] Gaudís position in the History of Architecture is that of a…

there is such a road, I tell you.” “I am an attainted traitor, a regicide, and kinslayer.” This talk of roads annoyed him. Does he think this is a game? “What one king does, another may undo. In Pentos we have a prince, my friend. He presides at ball and feast and rides about the city in a palanquin of ivory and gold. Three heralds go before him with the golden scales of trade, the iron sword of war, and the silver scourge of justice. On the first day of each new year he must…
