The talk at a round table in the end of the long room was louder than anywhere else. Six officers had seated themselves at it, among them Georg von Dornburg.
A wonderfully lovely spring evening spent together by the friendly shores of Elbe, and a visit to the magnificent Cathedral of Meissen, brought me nearer to these and other comrades; but it was the pleasant banks of Havel at Havelberg, the charming situation of the grand cathedral, the "Rhine Travels" of Georg Forster, a common love for nature, and above all a common eager yearning for higher culture that bound us three for ever together.
But I heard Wolfgar say swiftly: "We're trapped! You, of all of us you Georg Brende, must escape." The rest of his words to Georg I did not catch. He was thrusting a weapon into Georg's hands; and giving hurried advice and explanations.
Not a note has passed my lips for weeks, and now my heart aches so, that I would far rather weep than sing. 'What troubles me? you will ask, and yet Maria gives me courage to request a chivalrous service, almost without parallel, at your hands." "Speak, speak," Georg eagerly exclaimed. "If Frau Maria summons me and I can serve you, dear lady: here I am, dispose of me."
I ran back to Georg and Maida, gasping, my lungs on fire, my head roaring. "No use! Abandoned!" The department of weather control where had we been forewarned we might have found means to divert the wind by another of our own creation was deserted by its staff at the first alarm. "No use! Georg Maida let us go!"
She was showing Georg a ring, and laughingly exclaimed: "Don't you wish to know what the device means? Look, a serpent biting its own tail." "Aha!" replied the Junker, "the symbol of self-torment." "Good, good! But it has another meaning, which you would do well to notice, Sir Knight. Do you know the signification of eternity and eternal faith?"
But a friend of mine, who is now upon the western circuit, having promised to give me an account of the several modes and fashions that prevail in the different parts of the nation through which he passes, I shall defer the enlarging upon this last topick till I have received a letter from him, which I expect every post. Equidem credo, quia sit divinitus illis Ingenium. VIRG. Georg. i. ver. 415.
"O my glory!" is the emphatic expression employed by them both. O decus, O famae merito pars maxima nostrae. Vir. Georg. ii. Light of my life, my glory, and my guide! O et praesidium et dulce decus meum. Hor. Ode I. My glory and my patron thou!
Does a second give better advice? Follow it, and success attend you! Compare Virg. Georg. To pray is simple enough, Athenians, collecting all that one desires in a short petition: but to decide, when measures are the subject of consideration, is not quite so easy; for we must choose the profitable rather than the pleasant, where both are not compatible.
One can give no greater praise to the "Castiglione" or the "Donna Velata" than to say that they are fit to hang beside the "Georg Gyze" or the "Christina of Milan"; and at least one portrait by Raphael, the "Tommaso Inghirami," in the collection of Mrs. Raphael. "The Sibyls." Raphael. "Portrait of Tommaso Inghirami." In the collection of Mrs.
