380 APPENDIX, 8.
6. St. Peter awakened by the angel in prison; full of spirit,
the prison picturesque, with a trefoiled arch^ the angel
eager, St. Peter startled, and full of motion.
7. St. Peter led out by the angel.
8. The miraculous draught of fishes; fish and all, in the
small space.
9. A large leaf, with two snails rampant, coming out of nau
tilus shells, with grotesque faces, and eyes at the ends
of their horns.
10. A man with an axe striking at a dog's head, which comes
out of a nautilus shell: the rim of the shell branches
into a stem with two large leaves.
11. Martyrdom of St. Sebastian; his body very full of arrows.
12. Beasts coming to ark; Noah opening a kind of wicker
cage.
13. Noah building the ark on shores.
14. A vine leaf with a dragon's head and tail, the one biting
the other.
15. A man riding a goat, catching a flying devil.
16. An eel or muraena growing into a bunch of flowers, which
turns into two wings.
17. A sprig of hazel, with nuts, thrown all around the quatre
foils with a squirrel in centre, apparently attached to
the tree only by its enormous tail, richly furrowed into
hair, and nobly sweeping.
18. Four hares fastened together by the ears, galloping in a
circle. Mingled with these grotesques are many sword
and buckler combats, the bucklers being round and
conical like a hat; I thought the first I noticed,
carried by a man at full gallop on horseback, had been
a small umbrella.
This list of subjects may sufficiently illustrate the feverish
character of the Northern Energy ; but influencing the treatment
of the whole there is also the Northern love of what is called the
Grotesque, a feeling which I find myself, for the present, quite
incapable either of analysing or defining, though we all have a
distinct idea attached to the word: I shall try, however, in the
next volume.
