Scythian slaves shut the gates, and finally all became quiet. The Ambrosian night threw on the Acropolis, city, and environs, a dark veil embroidered with stars. But the dusk did not last long.
The Ambrosian hymns remained the type of all the hymnic poetry of succeeding centuries.

"St Ambrose did more than any other writer of his time to establish certain latent tendencies as characteristics of the Catholic spirit.
She was sitting on a stone, a fragment of some old balustrade, with her feet in the damp grass, and reading a tattered book of some kind. She raised her eyes and saw him looking down at her thoughtfully over that ambrosian beard of his, like Jove at a mortal.

Among the drawings by RAPHAEL, is the great cartoon of the Athenian School, a valuable fragment which served for the execution of the grand fresco painting in the Vatican, the largest and finest of all his productions. It was brought from the Ambrosian library at Milan, and is one of the most instructive works extant for a study.
