Possible definitions for youths
Bouts
Netherlandish painter. Born in Haarlem, he was active in Louvain, where he was influenced by R. van der Weyden. His best-known works are a triptych altarpiece (1464) for the church of St. Peter in Louvain, its panels representing the Last Supper and four Old Testament scenes, and two huge panels representing a scene of secular justice (1470-75) for the city hall, intended as examples of justice for the Louvain town council. His treatment of his figures ranges from strong emotion expressed through symbolic gesture to great severity and restraint.
Goths
Germanic people whose two branches, the Ostrogoths and the Visigoths, harassed the Roman Empire for centuries. Legend holds that they originated in S Scandinavia, crossed to the S shore of the Baltic Sea, then migrated to the Black Sea in the 2nd cent. AD. They raided the Roman provinces in Asia Minor and the Balkan peninsula in the 3rd cent. and drove the Romans out of the province of Dacia during the reign of Aurelian. The adjective "Gothic" was applied disparagingly and inappropriately to medieval architecture by much later writers.
mouth
Orifice through which food and air enter the body. It opens to the outside at the lips and empties into the throat at the rear and is bounded by the lips, cheeks, hard and soft palates, and glottis. Its chief structures are the teeth, tongue, and palate. It is the site of chewing and speech formation. The mouth is lined by mucous membranes containing small glands that, along with the salivary glands, keep it moist and clear of food and other debris.
Southey
English poet and prose writer. In youth Southey ardently embraced the ideals of the French Revolution, as did S. T. Coleridge, with whom he was associated from 1794. Like Coleridge, he gradually became more conservative. Around 1799 he devoted himself to writing; later he was obliged to produce unremittingly to support both his and Coleridge's family. In 1813 he was appointed poet laureate. His poetry is now little read, but his prose style is masterly in its ease and clarity, as seen in such works as Life of Nelson (1813), Life of Wesley (1820), and The Doctor (1834-47), a fantastic, rambling miscellany.
