The same she tempered with fine mercury,
And mingled them with perfect vermily."

With Una he perhaps overdoes the white a little. She is two degrees
of comparison above snow. Compare his questioning in the Hymn to
Beauty, about that mixture made of colors fair; and goodly
temperament, of pure complexion.

"Hath white and red in it such wondrous power
That it can pierce through the eyes into the heart?"

Where the distinction between typical and vital beauty is very
gloriously carried out.

[28] I have not spoken here of any of the associations connected
with warmth or coolness of color, they are partly connected with
vital beauty, compare Chap. xiv. Sec. 22, 23, and partly with
impressions of the sublime, the discussion of which is foreign to
the present subject; purity, however, it is which gives value to
both, for neither warm nor cool color, can be beautiful, if impure.

Neither have I spoken of any questions relating to melodies of
color, a subject of separate science--whose general principle has
been already stated in the seventh chapter respecting unity of
sequence. Those qualities only are here noted which give absolute
beauty, whether to separate color or to melodies of it--for all
melodies are not beautiful, but only those which are expressive of
certain pleasant or solemn emotions; and the rest startling, or
curious, or cheerful, or exciting, or sublime, but not beautiful,
(and so in music.) And all questions relating to this grandeur,
cheerfulness, or other characteristic impression of color must be
considered under the head of ideas of relation.

OF MODERATION, OR THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT BY LAW.

Sec. 1. Meaning of the terms Chasteness and Refinement.

Of objects which, in respect of the qualities hitherto considered,
appear to have equal claims to regard, we find, nevertheless, that
certain are preferred to others in consequence of an attractive power,
usually expressed by the terms "chasteness, refinement, or elegance,"
and it appears also that things which in other respects have little in
them of natural beauty, and are of forms altogether simple and adapted
to simple uses, are capable of much distinction and desirableness in
consequence of these qualities only. It is of importa
