Topic: Clytie


  
 [No title]
Clytie had known some children, of exceptional merit, it was true, who claimed to have heard his bells on certain nights when they had gone early to sleep.
Clytie didn't; he had seen her pick it up when she dusted the sitting-room; there was sacrilege in her very grasp of it; and his grandfather seemed hardly to know of its existence.
Clytie, who read most of the story to him, declared Budd Jackson to be "a regular mean one." But in his heart Bernal, thinking all at once of the circus, sickened unutterably of Virtue.

 Clytie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clytia, or Clytie, was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys in Greek mythology.
Clytie had wanted Apollo back and had wanted to win him back by taking away his new love, but her actions only hardened Apollo's heart against her.
She sat naked, with neither food nor drink, for nine days on the rocks, staring at the sun, Apollo, and mourning his departure.

 GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Absalom, Absalom Study Guide
Clytie calls her "Rosa," rather than "Miss Rosa," as fl people are expected to, and this slight infuriates her.
As Rosa explains, it is not merely that Clytie calls her "Rosa," but that "it was as though it had not been she [Clytie] who spoke but the house itself that said the words." She envisions Clytie as possessed by the spirit of Sutpen's house and will, placed there to stop her.
Clytie will be presented throughout as a keeper of Sutpen, Sutpen's home and Sutpen's legacy, none of which have offered her any real reward or even gratitude.

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Seeker, by Harry Leon Wilson
Within the home Clytie proved to be an able coadjutor of the old man, who was, indeed, constrained and awkward in the presence of the younger child, and perhaps a thought too severe with the elder.
However, Clytie happily discovered that the littler boy's memory was more tenacious of rhyme, so she successfully taught him certain metrical conceits that had been her own to learn in girlhood, beginning with pithy couplets such as:
Over a final dish of plum preserves and an imposing segment of marble cake he relented so far as to tell Clytie something of his adventures —especially since she had said that the big hall-clock was very likely slow—that it must surely be a lot later than a quarter past seven.

 BBC - Painting Flowers - Watts' Clytie
Apollo turned Clytie from a water nymph into a sunflower but her devotion endured the transformation and every day Clytie's head turned as she marked the sun's progress across the sky, just as the real sunflower does.
In Watts' version of the tale the sorrowful twist of Clytie's neck, trapped in a circle of radiating blossoms, demonstrates her painful yearning.
Clytie's loyalty and devotion is aptly symbolised in the swirling of her head like a real sunflower charting sun's progress across the sky.

Clytie came on with the brisk and confident walk that she had cultivated along the pavements of the shopping district, and she was dressed precisely as if about to enter upon one of her frequent excursions in that quarter on some crisp, late-autumn afternoon.
She tripped ahead in a solid but elegant pair of walking-shoes and was drawing on a tan glove with mannish stitchings over the back.
Clytie passed her hand down the side of her thick fawn-coloured skirt and readjusted her toque.

Clytie is pure sign, existing only to indicate the signifies of the tragedy of Thomas Sutpen...
To me, this rings false, as if Byerman wanted first to prove that Clytie has no identity as character but is a "pure sign", and then denies the possibility that her actions have any meaning other than the one meaning he wants to see.

 Marble bust of 'Clytie'
At first referred to as Agrippina, the bust is still known as Clytie, a nymph who had fallen in love with the god Helios and was turned into a sunflower.
Others consider it to be an ancient work, representing Antonia Minor (died AD 38), mother of the emperor Claudius, or a Roman lady of that period portrayed as Ariadne.
The bust of Clytie figures prominently in Johan Zoffany's iconic painting of Charles Townley in his library, and was one of three ancient marbles Townley had printed on his visiting card.

 Clytie by PARODI, Filippo
Drawn from Ovid's Metamorphoses, his figures were conceived as pairs and shared an appropriately horticultural theme of flowers: one pair featured Clytie and Hyacinth, who were beloved of Apollo and changed into flowers after their death.
The interest here is very much the process of transformation - Clytie into a sunflower, Hyacinth into the flower that bears his name.
Although the subject matter is somewhat unusual, Parodi's models are even more remarkable, for he has adapted them from late works by Bernini in an entirely different context.

 Art History at Loggia | Clytie, by the Artist Frederic Leighton
According to this tale, Clytie falls in love with the sun - often personified as the god Apollo - and this hopeless and doomed affair ultimately leads to Clytie's transformation into a sunflower.
Lord Leighton was obviously inspired by the dramatic possibilities of this myth, and has chosen to depict Clytie moments before her transformation.
She is represented as a lovely young woman, kneeling, her arms outstretched to the sky and sun, head tossed back in a final rapture.

[198] One morning when Clytie was in the garden watching her pigeons fly high up to the sky, she caught a glimpse of the wonderful Apollo who rides in the chariot of the sun and drives his fiery steeds around the circle of the heavens.
The next day, and the next, Clytie went out into the garden to watch for the chariot of the sun, and all the long morning she stood looking up at the sky, hoping that the great Apollo would see her.
Clytie's eyes grew darker and larger and larger, until she seemed to have one great eye which covered her whole face.

Clytie, despite her best endeavours to go in company with Bond, found herself associated with Abner, and a spirit of unchristian perversity took complete possession of her.
She cast her eye about, viewing the prosperous country-side, the well-kept farms, the modest comfort symbolized in her host's equipage itself.
She had not hesitated to banter the admiring young clerks that held their places behind those shop-fronts of galvanized iron in simulation of red brick and of cut limestone, and she had been startlingly free in her accosting of several time-honoured worthies encountered on the dislocated plank walks outside.

"Clytie was a water-nymph and in love with Helios [the god of the Sun], who made her no return.
So she pined away, sitting all day long upon the cold ground, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders.
At last, they say, her limbs rooted in the ground, her face became a flower which turns on its stem so as always to face the sun throughout its daily course; for it retains to that extent the feeling of the nymph from whom it sprang."
