     summary: The colours were always rather clear and crude, but are the more sincere and decorative on this account, the worker recognizing frankly the limitation of the material; and the gold outline harmonizes the whole, as it does in any form of art work. Another form of enamel was used to colour gold work in relief, with a permanent coating of transparent colour.

     summary: The rosewood furniture inlaid with arabesques in thin flat brass, and made by Gillow at the end of the last century, is perhaps the last genuine effort in English furniture, though the tradition of good work and simple design died very hard in old-fashioned country places. Good work of course can be done, but it is exceedingly difficult to find the workman, and the average is bad.

     summary: The latter are the class we are considering here, and these, in turn, were subdivided into _lazeros_ or makers of _lazo_-work, _non-lazeros_ or those who did not make it, and _jumetricos_ or _geómetricos_. Other _guadamecís_, though not of the oldest, are in the South Kensington Museum.

     summary: The same fabric served the peasant woman of Carthagena for securing the sleeves of her gala camisole, for lacing the bodice of the woman of Iviza, and in the other Balearic Islands, for tying the _rebocillo_ or _rebociño_ beneath the chin. According to Capmany, cloths of the commoner kind, and which were popular about this time, were the _granas treintenas_ and black cloths of Valencia, the white or yellow _veintiseiseno_ cloths of Toledo, the white cloths of Ciudad Real, the green _palmillas_ of Cuenca, and green _dieciochenos_ of Segovia, the _contrayes_ of Cazalla, and the _pardillos_ of Aragon.

     summary: And thus great art is nothing else than the type of strong and noble life; for, as the ignoble person, in his dealings with all that occurs in the world about him, first sees nothing clearly,--looks nothing fairly in the face, and then allows himself to be swept away by the trampling torrent, and unescapable force, of the things that he would not foresee, and could not understand: so the noble person, looking the facts of the world full in the face, and fathoming them with deep faculty, then deals with them in unalarmed intelligence and unhurried strength, and becomes, with his human intellect and will, no unconscious nor insignificant agent, in consummating their good, and restraining their evil. All their conventional architecture--their graceful shaping and painting of pottery--whatsoever other art they practised--was dependent for its greatness on this sheet-anchor of central aim: true shape of living man.
