The great studio is a large room about sixty feet by twenty-five andabout seventeen in height. In the centre of the north side is the loftywindow forming a bay and extending into a skylight in the top. High upon either side of it are the three small openings mentioned whenspeaking of the exterior. A curtain hangs in front of them, and in pointof fact they were never used. In the west wall is an apse with a giltsemi-dome, which appears in some of Lord Leighton's pictures. Across theeast end runs a gallery at about eight feet from the floor withbookshelves under it on either side, and in the middle a broad passageleads into the glass studio, and still outside this is a wide balconylooking into the garden. Casts of a portion of the Panathenaic frieze ofthe Parthenon run along the upper part of the wall of the great studio, fitemblem of the lifelong devotion of the President to classic art. Suchthen is the workshop. Even now, comparatively bare as it is at thepresent moment of writing, this is one of the most picturesque suites ofrooms in existence; but to see it on one of the grand occasions ofLeighton's musical receptions was a very different sight and one noteasily to be forgotten. Then when walls and easels were covered withpictures, when rare carpets hung from the gallery, flowers and palms[Pg 102]filled the bay window, beautiful women and men of every form ofdistinction crowded the floor to listen to Joachim and Piatti, nothingwas wanting which could give beauty or interest to the spectacle.

The time appears to have been one of poverty and of depression in art.The rich treasures and the admirable talent for decoration whichbelonged to the Mycenaean age lay buried in the past. The Greece whichwe know, the historic Greece of art and poetry, of philosophy andhistory, had not yet come into being. The moon had set and the sun hadnot risen, and men moved in the dimmest twilight. Thus it can scarcelysurprise us that the graves of the Dipylon class, with their poor andscanty contents, were surmounted by no sculptured monuments. In place ofa column or a slab, there stood on the graves one of the large amphoraeof the period, enriched with adornment of geometric patterns and linesof stiff animals. Into these vessels were poured, almost beyond doubt,the offerings of food and drink brought by survivors and descendants.The choice of a sepulchral subject for the vases is thus readilyaccounted for. The vessel rested probably on a mound of earth, such asthe , of which we shall presently speak, or on a simple pedestal ofstone.

A bull or cow sometimes also stood on a grave. In the British Museum isa bull of this class[150]. A heifer is said to have stood on the tomb ofBoidion, concubine of Chares, who followed him in his expedition againstPhilip of Macedon[151]. On the grave of Diogenes of Sinope was a dog, tomark his cynic nature. But the dog which appears on the summit of a tombin the Athenian cemetery need not have anything to do with cynicism. Hemay have his place as a trusty watcher and guardian; or he may beconnected with the cultus of the dead, as we have already suggested. Onthe grave of Philager his teacher, Metellus Nepos, set a raven, whichCicero declared to be most appropriate to a master who taught how to flybetter than how to speak[152]. Of course the raven, as the bird sacredto Apollo, was very appropriate on the tombs of learned men. In anepitaph in the Anthology[153] it is said{132} that the grave of the poetSophocles was surmounted by a satyr, holding in his hand a female mask.As, however, we are told by other authorities that a Siren stood on histomb, we must suppose the satyr to have surmounted a cenotaph erected tothe poet by his admirers in some other city than Athens. From anotherepigram[154] we learn that on the grave of Plato an eagle wassculptured: here we are clearly in the realm of poetic symbolism.{133}

Shanell understands Spanish, but doesn't speak it. Quendi can speak Spanish and English. They giggle. They finish each other's sentences. They talk about the hottest music. They like bachata, salsa, merengue. And the song "Gasolina." 17dc91bb1f
