A gentleman tossed me a beautiful bouquet and a bonbon. Julian and I went to the Albani Villa with Mrs. Ward and Mr. Charles Sumner. A charming time. In the twilight I went with Mr. Hawthorne to the Coliseum and the Forum. It grew to lovely moonlight. After dinner I went to the Pincian gardens with Mr. Hawthorne and Julian. It was moonlight. Mr. Sumner made a long call."
Again, Roosevelt had his headquarters at the Congress Hotel. Again, the delegates, among whom were several women, met at the Coliseum. Crowds of enthusiastic supporters and larger crowds of curiosity- seekers swarmed into the vast building. On Monday, August 5, the first session of the Progressive Party's Convention was held.

In the same year P. pub. an enlarged ed. of his poems, and in 1833 was successful in a competition for a prize tale and a prize poem, the tale being the MS. found in a Bottle, and the poem The Coliseum.

The butterflies have taken the places of the queens of fashion and beauty of eighteen centuries ago, and the lizards sun themselves in the sacred seat of the Emperor. More vividly than all the written histories, the Coliseum tells the story of Rome's grandeur and Rome's decay. It is the worthiest type of both that exists.
