"Fu rinchiuso in una torre grossa e larga; avea libri assai, suo Tito Livio, sue storie di Roma, la Bibbia." &c. "Vita di Cola di Rienzi", lib. ii. c. 13. "He was immured in a high and spacious tower; he had books enough, his Titus Livius, his histories of Rome, the Bible," &c. The Stranger Beauty.
Among these was a tragedy, Cola Rienzi, dealing with the same subject as my opera, and in a manner partly new to me, and which I thought effective. With reference to this poem, I had begged him to take no notice of my libretto, as in the quality of its poetry it could not possibly bear comparison with his own; and it cost him little sacrifice to grant the request.
"How, Cola?" she greeted him in the soft, cooing tones of the younger Indians whose voices have not yet grown shrill and harsh. "Wagalexa Conka!" It was the tribal name given him in great honor by his Indians of Pine Ridge Agency. Through his astonishment, Luck's face glowed at the words.
"The first robber that ever died so brave a death," returned Rienzi, slowly unrobing himself. "Cola, I have never crossed your schemes, your policy, even by a suggestion. Enough for me to triumph in their success, to mourn for their failure. Now, I ask thee one request spare me the life of this man." "Nina " "Hear me, for thee I speak!
It was not only to glad me with thy beauty, but to cheer me with thy counsel, to support me with thy valour, that Heaven gave me thee as a helpmate." "Now, our Lady bless thee for those words!" said Nina, kissing the hand that hung over her shoulder; "and if I started at the word danger, it was but the woman's thought of thee, an unworthy thought, my Cola, for glory and danger go together.
And finally crawdad hunting in Ayutthaya, the home of his forlorn youth, made him think simultaneously of being with his brothers scavenging and pilfering refund cola bottles in the doorways of alleyways so as to buy a little candy from a local store, and wall crawling geckos.
In the wonderful delusions of the human heart, far from feeling remorse at a life of professional rapine and slaughter, almost the last words of the brave warrior were in proud commendation of his own deeds. "Be valiant like me," he said to his brothers, "and remember that ye are now the heirs to the Humbler of Apulia, Tuscany, and La Marca." "Vita di Cola di Rienzi", lib. ii. cap. 22.
If it wasn't for the others, I should take this schooner and try a trading trip to Labrador, but mother has become so much of an invalid that I hate to leave her with only my sister." "What is your sister's name?" "Cola." "That's an odd name, and one I never heard before, but I think I like it."
We purchased four wild horses and on the first day of October started for Cola with covered wagons. This was my first experience over the plains in a real prairie schooner. We followed the south Platte to Sterling And from there we struck west and went through the Pawnee pass. Then we Took the old gun-barrel road back to Colorado.
Go! leave one who can no longer protect you or Rome!" "Never Never." "You are resolved?" "I am." "Be it so," said the Tribune, with deep sadness in his tone. "Arm thyself for the worst." "There is no worst with thee, Cola!" "Come to my arms, brave woman; thy words rebuke my weakness.
