Without Luca I doubt if the "Madonna della Sedia" could be the idyll of protective solicitude and loving pride that it is. The Sala di Giove brings us to Venetian painting indeed, and glorious painting too, for next the door is Titian's "Bella," No. 18, the lady in the peacock-blue dress with purple sleeves, all richly embroidered in gold, whom to see once is to remember for ever.
She could not ask Miss Crotch to play any more till she had rested "Georgiana! for want of something better, do try what you can give us She will appear to great disadvantage, of course My dear, I think we have not had O Giove omnipotente." "I am not equal to that, ma'am," said Georgiana, drawing back: "you should call upon Miss La Grande."
Mudge for ever established his fame in "Buds of Roses;" and Miss La Grande was astonishing, absolutely astonishing, in "Frenar vorrei le lagrime" quite in Catalani's best manner; but Miss Georgiana Falconer was divine in "O Giove omnipotente," and quite surpassed herself in "Quanto O quanto e amor possente," in which Dr.
In front rose the tower-topped hill of Monte Giove, marking the site of Corioli; and just as they turned towards Nemi the Appian Way ran across their path. Overhead, a marvellous sky with scudding veils of white cloud. The blur and blight of the scirocco had vanished without rain, under a change of wind. An all-blessing, all-penetrating sun poured upon the stirring earth.
Is it that chit of a girl, that piece of simplicity that Giove! You have been her friend; you know her secrets. What does it mean?" "She has no secrets," said Bice, coming slowly forward. "She is not like us, she is like the day." "Fool!" the Contessa said, stamping her foot "don't you see there must be something in it. I am thinking of you, though you are so ungrateful.
At Campo di Giove the people say that if you can get a piece of one of the three holy candles which the priest lights from the new fire, you should allow a few drops of the wax to fall into the crown of your hat; for after that, if it should thunder and lighten, you have nothing to do but to clap the hat on your head, and no flash of lightning can possibly strike you.
"In fact, I was astonished that, with your eminence's excellent memory," replied Athos, smiling, "you had not recognized me before." "Always refractory and grumbling monsieur monsieur What do they call you? Stop a name of a river Potamos; no the name of an island Naxos; no, per Giove! the name of a mountain Athos! now I have it.
Just now our sweet Saviour wills and permits that we be separated for His honour. You are in Siena, and Cecca and Grandma are in Montepulciano. Frate Bartolomeo and Frate Matteo will be there and have been there. Alessa and Monna Bruna are at Monte Giove, eighteen miles from Montepulciano; they are with the Countess and Monna Lisa.
Raaff has now found, in the "Natal di Giove," which is in truth very little known, an aria quite appropriate to this situation. I think it is the ad libitum aria, "Bell' alme al ciel diletto" and he wishes me to write music for these words. He says, "No one knows it, and we need say nothing."
If I have any voice at all, it is in the lower part, and Miss La Grande always chooses the lower part besides, ma'am, you know she regularly takes 'O Giove omnipotente' from me. But I should not mind that even, if she would not attempt poor 'Quanto O quanto e amor possente' there's no standing that!
