Sentences with ARCHEUS (5)
The Paracelsian Archeus was the presiding spirit in living creatures, and worked through special local ferments, by which the functions of the organs are controlled.
Red is the archeus, or principal colour in the tertiary _russet_; enters subordinately into the two other tertiaries, _citrine_ and _olive_; goes largely into the composition of the various hues and shades of the semi-neutral _marrone_ or chocolate, and its relations, puce, murrey, morelle, mordore, pompadour, &c.; and is more or less present in _browns_, _grays_, and all broken colours.
Entering into combination with yellow in the composition of all _greens_, and with red in all _purples_, blue characterizes the tertiary _olive_, and is also the prime colour or archeus of the neutral _black_, &c., as well as of the semi-neutral _gray_, &c.: it therefore is changed in hue less than any other colour by mixture with black, as it is likewise by distance.
Citrine, or the colour of the citron, is the first of the tertiary class of colours, or ultimate compounds of the primary triad, yellow, red, and blue; in which yellow is the archeus or predominating colour, and blue the extreme subordinate.
Hence citrine, according to its name, which is that of a class of colours and used commonly for a dark yellow, partakes in a subdued degree of all the powers of its archeus yellow.
