Sayfa 396 - Oceanus, presented in a human form, the colour of his flesh blue, and shadowed with a robe of sea-green; his head grey and horned, as he is described by the ancients; his beard of the like mixed colour. He was garlanded with algae, or seagrass, and in his hand a trident.
Sayfa 396 - ... to break, as imitating that orderly disorder which is common in nature. In front of this sea were placed six Tritons, in moving and sprightly actions ; their upper parts human save that their hairs were blue, as partaking of the sea colour- — • their desinent parts fish, mounted above their heads, and all varied in disposition.
