Perfect, in its prime, was the marble Ca'd'Oro, with the noble recesses of its <i>loggie</i>, but even then it probably never "met a want," like the successful <i>vaporetto<i>. If, however, we are not to go into the Museo Civico the old Museo Correr, which rears a staring renovated front far down on the left, near the station, so also we must keep out of the great vexed question of steam on the Canalazzo, just as a while since we prudently kept out of the Accademia.
Choose your standpoint at random and trust the picture to come to you. This is manifestly why I have not, I find myself conscious, said more about the features of the Canalazzo which occupy the reach between the Salute and the position we have so obstinately taken up.
The gondola slipped from the Canalazzo into the network of the smaller canals, where the dense shadows were as old as the palaces that cast them and stopped at the landing of a narrow quay. The gondolier dismounted and rang at Don Ippolito's door. There was no response; he rang again and again. At last from a window of the uppermost story the head of the priest himself peered out.
The proscript has plenty of leisure to write his proclamations and even his memoirs, and I believe he has organs in which they are published; but the only noise he makes in the world is the harmless splash of his oars. He comes and goes along the Canalazzo, and he might be much worse employed.
Apparently he could not gather courage to speak of his business at once, for he turned his gaze upon the window and said, "A beautiful position, Signor Console." "Yes, it's a pretty place," answered Mr. Ferris, warily. "So much pleasanter here on the Canalazzo than on the campos or the little canals." "Oh, without doubt."
It is true that the churches still parade their pomps in the Piazza on the day of Corpus Christi; it is true that the bridges of boats are still built across the Canalazzo to the church of Our Lady of Salvation, and across the Canal of the Giudecca to the temple of the Redeemer, on the respective festivals of these churches; but the concourse is always meagre, and the mirth is forced and ghastly.
There was triumph still in a canalazzo, for Piero was so handsome and so strong, and in the gondola, on the Canal Grande, one could not hear the talking besides, Venice was not Murano; but in the home the old friends came no more, and life was very sad quite other than it used to be!
As soon as the government announced that it was to take place, the preparations of the champions began. When the great day arrived the Canalazzo swarmed with boats of every kind. The chief families among the nobility appeared in their boats, on which they had lavished their taste and wealth."
He speedily discovers indeed even in the presence of this scene of the final accents of the Canalazzo- -there is a charm in the old pink warehouses on the hot <i>fondamenta</i> that he has something much better.
