She was the first American who ever gained the Mendelssohn prize. Miss Morgan has made tours through the Continent and Great Britain, and had the honour of playing the Bach double concerto with Joachim at the Crystal Palace. In 1891 she appeared in New York under the auspices of Walter Damrosch.
The symbol is contained in the saying of the Abbot Joachim of Flora, one of the great precursors of St. Francis, to wit: "He that is a true monk considers nothing his own except a lyre nihil reputat esse suum nisi citharam." Yes; nothing except a lyre. But that lyre, our only real possession, is our Soul.
"Love of music will be the death of friend Joachim, then," commented Buck. "Is there a hostelry near by?" asked the other, lifting his old hat politely. With satirical courtesy Buck lifted his and at that psychological moment the only plug hats in the whole town of Smyrna saluted each other. "There's a hossery down the road a ways, and a mannery, too, all run by old Sam Fyles."

Eleven hundred and ninety years had passed away of those 1,260. "Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth," said Joachim; "Antichrist is already born, yea born in the city of Rome!"
He begged his friend Joachim to take his part, if his Excellency should write unfavorably about his conduct to the King. He seemed to have changed his views of the man concerning whose "prudence and gentleness" he could once turn so many fine periods. He even expressed some anxiety lest doubts should begin to be entertained as to the perfect clemency of the King's character.
M. Maceroni introduced himself as charged with an official mission, and handed the king the Emperor of Austria's ultimatum.
