Anima pellegrina seems to be Italian of no later date than Pergolese's airs, and suits the time as the familiar phrase of the more modern love-song suited the day of Bellini. But it is only Italian, bygone Italian, and not a part of the sweet past of any other European nation, but only of this. To the same local boundaries and enclosed skies belongs the charm of those buoyant words:

Easily shall I say cheaply? spiritual, for example, was the nation that devised the name anima pellegrina, wherewith to crown a creature admired.

la rondinella presso la mattina, e che la mente nostra pellegrina più dalla, carne e men da' pensier presa, alle sue vision quasi è divina. A few times only did I succeed in falling asleep with unbroken consciousness. This occurred when I was very tired and fell quickly into a deep sleep.
