The connections of his stories are admirable, his reflections just, his sneers and ironies incomparable, and his painting excellent. When Angelica, after having wandered over half the world alone with Orlando, pretends, notwithstanding, " -ch'el fior virginal cosi avea salvo, Come selo porto dal matern' alvo." The author adds, very gravely,
I never saw so many beautiful houses or such dazzling costumes in my life." "It's very fine," said Montague. "But take it slowly and make it last. When one has got used to it, the life seems rather dull and grey." "I am invited to the Wymans' to-night," said Lucy, "to play bridge. Fancy giving a bridge party on Sunday night!" Montague shrugged his shoulders. "Cosi fan tutti," he said.
The accusation of heresy and of crucifying Christ is evidently due to the devil-worship prevalent among the serfs, and is thus, alluded to in a north Italian poem, probably borrowed from the French: Christo fo da villan crucifiò, E stagom sempre in pioza, in vento, e in neve, Perchè havom fato cosi gran pecc
"Sgridi ancora una volta," says I, in the purest lingua Toscana, "e la lascero qui to get out of this mess as best you can cosi sicuro che il mio nome e Jenkinsono!" To my great relief she began to laugh. Immediately afterward, however, she sat down on the shingle and began to cry. It was too vexatious: what on earth was I to do? "Do you understand English?" I asked, despairingly.
Tasso's 'Gierusalemme Liberata' is altogether unquestionably a fine poem, though it has some low, and many false thoughts in it: and Boileau very justly makes it the mark of a bad taste, to compare 'le Clinquant Tasse a l' Or de Virgile'. The image, with which he adorns the introduction of his epic poem, is low and disgusting; it is that of a froward, sick, puking child, who is deceived into a dose of necessary physic by 'du bon-bon'. These verses are these: "Cosi all'egro fanciul porgiamo aspersi Di soavi licor gli orli del vaso: Succhi amari ingannato intanto ei beve, E dall' inganno suo vita riceve."
"I will do all that if I may come," said Nino readily, though he would rather not sing at all, at most times, than sing Bordogni, De Pretis tells me. "Meglio cosi, so much the better. Good-night, Sor Conte. Good-night, Nino." And so he turned down the Via Paola, and Nino and I went our way. I stopped to buy a cigar at the little tobacco shop just opposite the Tordinona Theatre.
'I think there's no harm in that price. But I reserved for myself two days' grace, and you must wait till to-morrow. I imagine we shall come to an arrangement, and then you will tell me how much you want paid down. And now, basta cosi! she cried, noticing Sanin was about to make some reply. 'We've spent enough time over filthy lucre ... a demain les affaires. Go and play roulette.
That is what I have been told." "Yes, Signore, in their twenty-eighth year the people are at the end of life; at the age of twelve they are already stooped and wrinkled old men and women. For the children it is most terrible; it is they who climb up the high ladders out of the pits in the earth it gives one a foretaste of inferno to see such things. Cosi Dio, m' ajuti, it is true!
During the rains, the scene must indeed be extraordinary, when the Cosi lays many miles of land under water, and pours so vast a quantity of detritus into the bed of the Ganges that long islets are heaped up and swept away in a few hours; and the latter river becomes all but unnavigable.
Here, in the Cappella Sassetti, Domenico Ghirlandajo has painted the Life of S. Francis; but it is not with his commonplace treatment, often irrelevant enough, of a subject which Giotto had already used with genius, that we are concerned, but perhaps with the fresco above the altar, and certainly with the marvellous portraits of Sassetti and Nera Cosi his wife, on either side.
