In 1368 he revisited Venice, and in 1371 Naples; but in May 1372 he returned to Florence, where on 25th August 1373 he was appointed lecturer on the Divina Commedia, with a yearly stipend of 100 fiorini d'oro. His commentary is still occasionally quoted.
"The Middle Ages revisited, en automobile! However, I'll do my best as showman in the circumstances." So he drove us into a splendid square, where Palladio was at his grandest with characteristic façades, galleries, and stately colonnades.
I am revisited by an outer glimpse of her in that after age when she had come, comparatively speaking, into her own the sight of her, accidentally incurred, one tremendously hot summer night, as she slowly moved from her lodgings or wherever, in the high Bowdoin Street region, down to the not distant theatre from which even the temperature had given her no reprieve; and well remember how, the queer light of my young impression playing up again in her path, she struck me as the very image of mere sore histrionic habit and use, a worn and weary, a battered even though almost sordidly smoothed, thing of the theatre, very much as an old infinitely-handled and greasy violoncello of the orchestra might have been.
He lifted her hand to his lips with a chivalrous respect as he spoke; opened the door, and called his page to attend her to the gates. Sibyll was more flattered by the abrupt dismissal than if he had knelt to detain her. How different seemed the world as her light step wended homeward! The next morning Hilyard revisited Warner with the letters for Henry.
When, after many years, I revisited the valley, the stream had carried the seeds half a mile below Loose-heels, and painted its banks with monkey-blossoms all the way. But the finest, I was glad to see, still inhabited the marsh. Now, it is rare to find this plant growing wild; for, in fact, it is a garden flower.
It was therefore very late, and his men were very tired, much too tired to sit up and talk, when they got to camp. Pursuing its homeward march, the main column under the general commanding had gone on through the wild hill country, and not until nearly a month had elapsed was the scene of the tragedy revisited.
Parties were immediately despatched in quest of him, and at length, after an arduous search, he was found behind a large sandstone rock on the side of a hill; having revisited the spot where the provisions had been concealed for the use of my party, in the hope of obtaining possession of his god the rum-keg.
If many of the countries of Asia, surveyed by the travellers of the middle ages, had not been revisited since that epoch, we had carefully explored the whole anterior part of that continent, India had been revealed to us, we had even founded some establishments there, China had been touched by our missionaries, and Japan, that famous Cipango which had exercised so great an attraction for our travellers of the preceding age, was at length known to us.
"But when you awake, do you know nothing of what has taken place in your sleep?" "Nothing whatever." "Have you no vague sensations, no haunting shadows, no dim ghostly moods, seeming to belong to that condition, left?" "None whatever." She rose, said "Good-night," and left me. Jealousy. Again seven days passed before she revisited me.
Down in the south, where the heated sands of Egypt never cool, there in the rock-hewn tombs lie the mummies wrapped and lapped and wound about with a hundred yards of linen, in the hope, it may be, that spices and balm might retain within the sarcophagus some small fragment of human organism through endless ages, till at last the gift of life revisited it.
