And this kind of Benedictory Power is the fount or type or natural origin, as it were, of all others. There is the Official of Religion who, in the exercise of his office LECTOR. For Heaven's sake AUCTOR. Who began it?
So I planned with very careful and exact precision, but many accidents and unexpected things, diverting my plans, lay in wait for me among the hills. And to cut a long story short, as the old sailor said to the young fool LECTOR. What did the old sailor say to the young fool? AUCTOR. Why, the old sailor was teaching the young fool his compass, and he said
At in Atlantico Oceano contra Hesperium promontorium, quod nunc est Cabo Verde, Hesperides sunt insulae duae; ultraque Gorgades, Gorgonum quondam domus: nunc in universam Islas de C. Verde Hispanis dicuntur, hoc est insulae promontorii Viridis. Contra Mauritanium sunt Fortunatae, VII numero, quarum una Canaria vocitata, a multitudine canum ingentis magnitudinis, ut auctor est Plinius.
Giromagny is no place for relics or for a pilgrimage, it cures no one, and has nothing of a holy look about it, and all these priests LECTOR. Pray dwell less on your religion, and AUCTOR. Pray take books as you find them, and treat travel as travel. For you, when you go to a foreign country, see nothing but what you expect to see.
AUCTOR. Neither am I. It is but the backwash of a wave... Well, then, I went up the open way, and came in a few miles of that hot afternoon to the second ridge of the Jura, which they call 'the Terrible Hill', or 'the Mount Terrible' and, in truth, it is very jagged. A steep, long crest of very many miles lies here between the vale of Porrentruy and the deep gorge of the Doubs.
She lays her foundations in something other, which something other our moderns hate. Yet out of that something other came the art and song of the Middle Ages. And what art or songs have you? She is Europe and all our past. She is returning. Andiamo. AUCTOR. I last saw him supping at the Savoy. Andiamo. We went up the hill together over a burnt land, but shaded with trees. It was very hot.
Well, as I was saying, this Difficulty of Beginning is but one of three, and is Inexplicable, and is in the Nature of Things, and it is very especially noticeable in the Art of Letters. LECTOR. It comes earlier in some books than in others. AUCTOR. As you say... And finally there is the Difficulty of Ending. LECTOR. I do not see how there can be any difficulty in ending a book.
He warmed me at his fire in his enormous kitchen, and I drank Malaga to the health of the cooks. I ate of their food, I bought a bottle of a new kind of sweet wine called 'Vino Dolce', and I took the road. LECTOR. And did you see nothing of Piacenza? AUCTOR. Nothing, Lector; it was raining, and there was mud. I stood in front of the cathedral on my way out, and watched it rain.
I know that. I do not object to it. What I want to know is, why a duchess? AUCTOR. On account of the reduction of scale: the concentration of the thing. You see in the full play there would have been a lord, two baronets, and say three ladies, and I could have put suitable words into their mouths.
The dotted line is the line of vision just as one got to a 'step'. The little figure is AUCTOR. LECTOR is up in the air looking at him. Observe the perspective of the lake below, but make no comments. I went very slowly.
