He then handed them to Nisida; and it was now her turn to experience the wildest surprise for on the page opened to her view were these words, traced in a beautiful style of calligraphy, and in the Italian language: "Is it possible that your ladyship can be the Donna Nisida of Riverola?"
There is, indeed, a much closer relation between literature and pictorial art in China than in any Occidental country, for the two pursuits have a common starting-point calligraphy. The ideograph is a picture, and to trace it in such a manner as to satisfy the highest canons is a veritably artistic achievement.
Besides music, several other branches of art, particularly architecture, design, and calligraphy, are worthy our attention, presenting, as they do, features unseen anywhere else; and would enable us still better to understand the character of the Celtic race.
