Hermogenes on Sweetness of Style : All pleasures that are not disgraceful can be spoken of simply, such as the natural beauty of a place, the variety of trees, the attractive diversity of streams, and all such things. For they afford pleasure to the sight when seen, and to the ear, when one describes them, as Sappho in the following words . . . and in what precedes and follows :—

And all around Mid apple boughs cool waters sound, And from the rustling leaves o'erhead

Deep sleep is shed.
