Next morning he sent for a framemaker and told him to mend the frame as soon as possible, to make the wire strong, and to see that the picture was firmly fixed on the wall. In two or three days' time the picture returned and was once more hung on the wall over the chimney- piece immediately above the little crystal Chinese god. Ferrol supervised the hanging of the picture in person. He saw that the nail was strong, and firmly fixed in the wall; he took care that the wire left nothing to be desired and was properly attached to the rings of the picture.英文原著 · 《Orpheus in Mayfair and Other》
``Pictures!'' was evermore his cry-- ``Pictures of old or recent date,'' And pictures only would he buy Wherewith to ``extra-illustrate.'' Full many a tome of ancient type And many a manuscript he took, For nary purpose but to swipe Their pictures for some other book.英文原著 · 《The Love Affairs Of A Bibliomaniac》
Monty shaded his face with his hands, and the picture stole up to his lips. Trent stood a little apart and hated himself for this last piece of inhumanity. He pretended to be listening for the stealthy approach of their enemies. In reality he was struggling with the feeling which prompted him to leave this picture with the dying man. "I suppose you'd best have it," he said sullenly at last. But Monty shook his head feebly and held out the picture. Trent took it with an odd sense of shame which puzzled him. He was not often subject to anything of the sort.英文原著 · 《A Millionaire of Yesterday》
And pictures--picturespictures--an enchanting procession of them! I was impatient for the morning to come. When it came it brought disappointment, of course. Cholera had broken out in the town, and we were not allowed to have any communication with the shore. Thus suddenly did my dream of twenty-nine years go to ruin. Messages came from friends, but the friends themselves I was not to have any sight of. My lecture-hall was ready, but I was not to see that, either. Several of our passengers belonged in Honolulu, and these were sent ashore; but nobody could go ashore and return.英文原著 · 《Following the Equator》
You sighed for somewhat simple, quiet, restful. The pictures were pronounced poor. I don't know whether they were or not. I never can tell a picture as a cook tells her mince-pie meat, by tasting it. One picture is a revealer and one is a daub; but they are alike to me at first glance. For a picture has an individuality all its own. You must woo it with tender ardor, or it will not yield up its heart. The chance look sees only color and contour; but as you gaze the color glows, the contour throbs, the hidden soul heaves the inert canvas with the solemn palpitations of life.英文原著 · 《Gala-Days》
It should be noticed, also, that the Duke values his wife's picture wholly as a picture, not as the "counterfeit presentment" and reminder of a sweet and lovely woman, who might have blessed his life, if he had been capable of being blessed. It is to him a picture by a great artist, and he values it only as such. He says, parenthetically, "since none puts by the curtain I have drawn for you, but I." It's too precious a work of art to be entrusted to anybody else.英文原著 · 《Introduction to Robert Browning》
