By translating his or her own head (and by extension, the rest of the body) to a self-ordained location, a cephalophoric saint selects the spot at which he or she wishes to be buried and venerated. In doing so, the cephalophore essentially initiates and localizes the cult of his or her own relics. Thus, the hagiographic trope of cephalophory, and the related miracle of cephalology, do more than provide a dramatic tale of martyrdom. They concentrate attention on the cult of the saint's relics by revealing the power of the relics, the location at which they may be found, and the manner of their veneration." </p><p>– Scott B.

And why should our distress at disutility be so great as to block any other pleasure we might take in an object? The answer to this question, at least for Kant and most other eighteenth-century thinkers, is simply that the human mind is inherently teleological – that is, it is natural for us to seek purposes and to find them wherever we can, and to be frustrated when we cannot find them where we think we should be able to do so but to be gratified when we do, and all the more gratified when we succeed in finding purposes where we would have thought we couldn't. In fact, we are particularly frustrated when we fail to find purposiveness where we expect to, although not noticeably pleased when we do find it where we expect to, while when we find it where we do not expect to, we are noticeably pleased, although when we do not find it where we do not expect to find it, we are not noticeably displeased. This set of assumptions would explain the relationship that we find between the perception of utility and of beauty: where we judge the object is ill-adapted to its intended use, our frustration at that is so great as to block other potential pleasures in the object, such as pleasure in the beauty of its form; but where an object is well-adapted to its intended use or other purpose, we pretty much take that for granted, and need an additional element such as beauty of form to take an especially noticeable pleasure in it. . . . In other words, the suitability of an object's appearance to its intended use is a necessary condition for our finding the object beautiful, even if finding it beautiful is not reducible to finding its form suitable to its use. Beauty is not identical to utility, but where an object should have utility, then its utility is a necessary condition for its beauty."<p></p><p>– Paul Guyer, <b>Beauty and Utility in Eighteenth-Century Aesthetics</b> (<i>Eighteenth-Century Studies</i>, vol. 35, no. 3, Spring 2002)</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

And then he took a pot of immortality, and said, Hold Psyche, and drinke, to the end thou maist be immortall, and that Cupid may be thine everlasting husband. By and by the great banket and marriage feast was sumptuously prepared, Cupid sate downe with his deare spouse betweene his armes: Juno likewise with Jupiter, and all the other gods in order, Ganimedes filled the pot of Jupiter, and Bacchus served the rest. Their drinke was Nectar, the wine of the gods, Vulcanus prepared supper, the howers decked up the house with roses and other sweet smells, the graces threw about balme, the Muses sang with sweet harmony, Apollo tuned pleasantly to the Harpe, Venus danced finely: Sitirus and Paniscus plaid on their pipes: and thus Psyche was married to Cupid, and, after, she was delivered of a child whom we call Pleasure. </div><div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051699188528630524.post-37614435718754709082024-03-09T12:00:00.177-08:002024-03-09T12:00:00.135-08:00Visual Relics (1989-1996)<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

If I shall suffer any mortall creature to present my Majesty on earth, or that any shall beare about a false surmised shape of my person, then in vain did Paris the sheepheard (in whose just judgement and confidence the great Jupiter had affiance) preferre me above the residue of the goddesses, for the excellency of my beauty: but she, whatsoever she be that hath usurped myne honour, shal shortly repent her of her unlawfull estate. And by and by she called her winged sonne Cupid, rash enough and hardy, who by his evil manners contemning all publique justice and law, armed with fire and arrowes, running up and downe in the nights from house to house, and corrupting the lawfull marriages of every person, doth nothing but that which is evill, who although that hee were of his owne proper nature sufficiently prone to worke mischiefe, yet she egged him forward with words and brought him to the city, and shewed him Psyche (for so the maid was called), and having told the cause of her anger, not without great rage, I pray thee (quoth she) my dear childe, by motherly bond of love, by the sweet wounds of thy piercing darts, by the pleasant heate of thy fire, revenge the injury which is done to thy mother by the false and disobedient beauty of a mortall maiden, and I pray thee, that without delay shee may fall in love with the most miserablest creature living, the most poore, the most crooked, and the most vile, that there may bee none found in all the world of like wretchednesse.<div><div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div></div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051699188528630524.post-76126553766007881142024-03-08T12:00:00.196-08:002024-03-08T12:00:00.132-08:00Visual Relics (1977-1988)<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Wherupon innumerable strangers resorted from farre Countries, adventuring themselves by long journies on land and by great perils on water, to behold this glorious virgin. By occasion whereof such a contempt grew towards the goddesse</div><div>Venus, that no person travelled unto the Towne Paphos, nor to the Isle Gyndos, nor to Cythera to worship her. Her ornaments were throwne out, her temples defaced, her pillowes and cushions torne, her ceremonies neglected, her images and Statues uncrowned, and her bare altars unswept, and fowl with the ashes of old burnt sacrifice. For why, every person honoured and worshipped this maiden in stead of Venus, and in the morning at her first comming abroad offered unto her oblations, provided banquets, called her by the name of Venus, which was not Venus indeed, and in her honour presented floures and garlands in most reverend fashion. <div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div></div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051699188528630524.post-74542565257663369462024-03-07T12:00:00.141-08:002024-03-07T12:16:27.234-08:00Visual Relics (1968-1977)<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Wherefore she willed me privily to prepare my self to see the same. And when midnight came she led me softly into a high chamber, and bid me look thorow the chink of a doore: where first I saw how shee put off all her garments, and took out of a certain coffer sundry kindes of Boxes, of the which she opened one, and tempered the ointment therein with her fingers, and then rubbed her body therewith from the sole of the foot to the crowne of the head, and when she had spoken privily with her selfe, having the candle in her hand, she shaked the parts of her body, and behold, I perceived a plume of feathers did burgen out, her nose waxed crooked and hard, her nailes turned into clawes, and so she became an Owle. Then she cried and screeched like a Bird of that kinde, and willing to proove her force, mooved her selfe from the ground by little and little, til at last she flew quite away. <div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051699188528630524.post-66616726457141629182024-03-05T12:00:00.159-08:002024-03-05T12:00:00.149-08:00Visual Relics (1953-1961)<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

On the contrary part, the Image of the goddess Diana was wrought in white marble, which was a marvellous sight to see, for shee seemed as though the winde did blow up her garments, and that she did encounter with them that came into the house. On each side of her were Dogs made of stone, that seemed to menace with their fiery eyes, their pricked eares, their bended nosethrils, and their grinning teeth, in such sort that you would have thought they had bayed and barked. And moreover (which was a greater marvel to behold) the excellent carver and deviser of this worke had fashioned the Dogs to stand up fiercely with their former feet, and their hinder feet on the ground ready to fight. <div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051699188528630524.post-57703550922751995712024-03-03T12:00:00.135-08:002024-03-03T12:00:00.137-08:00Visual Relics (1936-1945)<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

And yet at Athens before the porch, there called Peale, I saw with these eyes a Iugler that swallowed up a two hand sword, with a very keene edge, and by and by for a little money, that we that looked on gave him, hee devoured a chasing speare with the point downeward. And after that hee had conveyed the whole speare within the closure of his body, and brought it out againe behind, there appeared on the top therof (which caused us all to marvell) a faire boy pleasant and nimble, winding and turning himself in such sort, that you would suppose he had neither bone nor gristle, and verily thinke that he were the naturall Serpent, creeping and sliding on the knotted staffe, which the god of Medicine is feigned to beare.<div><br /></div><div>– Apuleius, <i>The Golden Ass</i>, translated by William Adlington (1566)</div>Benjaminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564505924623095649noreply@blogger.com
