Good Puppy. Hardcover. New. M. Tito. Hardcover. 38 pages. Dimensions: 8.0in. x 8.0in. x 0.2in.Pretty Seeley, published by Good Puppy, is an imaginative and beautifully illustrated book about coming to terms with our own physical appearance. Seeley is a little girl with a spot on her nose. Her intriguing imperfection doesnt seem to bother her cat, Mao, as it does Seeley. Mao is the friend we all want and the friend we all should aspire to be. The one with eyes wide open who sees right past imperfections to the underlying beauty that makes each of us unique. Mao believes a butterfly left her shadow behind and launches a search to find the allusive creature. Their journey takes Seeley to new understandings. The story reframes a seemingly negative attribute by giving it a positive, deeper and more important meaning, helping Seeley and the reader reprioritize and smile at their old frame of mind while thinking. . . - Yes, that was Pretty Seeley. Written and illustrated by Marina Tito, Pretty Seeley is a manifestation of beauty and a road map to its origins, hidden deep within each one of us. Recommended for children, ages 4 to 7, cats, bunnies and squirrels, or anyone that could use a new perspective. This item ships from multiple locations.

When I think that the beauty of this world is but the rude sketch and the faint outline of that of the spiritual, when I know that the elements that compose the forms in the spiritual world are infinitely more numerous, and inconceivably more distinct and perfect than they are here--though they seem almost infinite in this, and so wonderful that they surpass all description, my heart swells with indescribable emotion. I feel like bowing my head, and my heart too, in penitence and shame that I should ever have a selfish wish, that I should ever distrust the goodness of a love which manifests itself in such forms, and makes such provision for the wants, and such a glorious habitation for the dwelling-place of its children. But beautiful as the world is, it is the lowest form of beauty, and in many respects imperfect. It is perpetual because there is a constant succession of forms; the flower and the cloud, the forest and the stream, that. compose the landscape to-day, or form a most important part of it, are gone to-morrow, never more to he restored. The withered flower and the decayed fruit and the fallen tree disappear and become parts of other forms. Each individual thing also has but a few of the elements which are found in the whole. One has colour, another form, another both. But all these beauties are collated in the perfect man. There is not a form, nor a motion, nor a colour, nor a quality of any kind that can be called beautiful that is not found in man, and, so far as he lives a life of true order, in every man. The reason is evi dent. All the goodness and beauty that exists in the world is an . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New.

But you acknowledge, said Maud, laughing, that there is some foundation for them No, no. I do not, indeed. Indeed I am not engaged to him. Perhaps not, but about to be persisted Maud; and then added seriously, I should be very glad that it was so, Margaret. Mr. Neville is immensely rich, at least he is the son of an immensely rich man, and those Warrens we met in Italy describe his fathers place in Ireland as the most beautiful that ever was seen. And they say he is very amiable, observed Lucy. The thought suggested itself to Margarets mind, the involuntary thought, that amiable was not the word she would have used, in describing Edmund. Charming--attractive--fascinating, but not amiable. No, even in his love (if indeed he loved her) there was a hardness, a stiffness, a want of consideration for her, even when he was most occupied about her, that was not amiable. But she was in love! Poor Margaret was decidedly in love--for it seemed to her that had he been more amiable, less imperious, less uncertain, she would not have cared so much for each glance of his dark eye, or watched with such trembling anxiety for every proof of interest that his words or his actions might afford. Love does not always blind people. It often makes them keen-sighted, painfully alive to the slightest imperfections in the object of their attachment--but the faults and the failings which are discovered with even acute sensibility, are not hateful as they would be in another--they seem to form a part of what we love, and in our weakness we dare not wish to . . .

A beautiful, articulate, and witty full-figured African American woman, she has a thriving career as part owner of a travel agency in Southern California. Her success has provided her with sports cars, a designer wardrobe, and an expensive loft in Long Beach just blocks from the beach. But whats not obvious to outsiders is how hard Gypsy struggles daily with her secret sexual desires. Paris Morgan, a charming, intelligent, and romantic thirty-three-year-old African American man is nice almost to a fault. This quality earns him abuse and rejection from the women he lets into his life. But after meeting Gypsy, Paris feels like hes found all he desires. Yet Paris has secrets too. Lacking in self-esteem, Gypsy often makes bad decisions when it comes to men. But because of Paris, she eventually begins to see that she is the cause of most of the drama in her life-and she has planted the seeds for its growth. Only time will tell whether Gypsy and Paris can overcome their personal faults or whether those imperfections will force them apart forever. This item ships from multiple locations.

The hieroglyphics are published in Egypt. Inscript. , Second Series, PI. 40 E. No. 492. The Head of a small Statue, of highly polished black basalt, without beard. It has no name or hieroglyphics, but is of the same age as the last two. It was under Psammetichus and his successors, the kings of Sais, that the quarries of basalt were first worked. During their reigns we meet with a great number of monuments of this hard stone, which are all beautifully polished. No. 492 bis. The Head and Bust of another small Statue, of basalt, like the above. On the shelves against the wall are numerous jars, with lids formed with heads. (See Fig. 49. ) These were always used in sets of four, and named after the four lesser gods of the dead; and they held those parts of the body which were too soft to be made into a mummy. Their lids are in the shape of heads characteristic of those gods: --Amset, the carpenter, has a mans head; Smotef, the shaper, or Sontef, the painter, has a dogs head; Snouf, the bleeder, has a hawks head; and Hapi, the digger, has an apes head. But as the lids are loose from the jars, the name did not always belong to the same head; and indeed in sculptures where the heads are fixed we see that the sculptors were not always agreed about the names that belonged to each. Their names seem to tell us what parts of the art of mummy-making these gods were supposed to watch over. The hieroglyphics on the vase of Amset often begin with an address to Isis; those on that of Smotef, with an address to Neith; those on that of Snouf, with an address to Selk; those on that of Hapi, with an address to Nephthys.
