All the expressions of a new, ruling plutocracy are easily discernible here, as in all such epochs of society recorded in history; just, for instance, as Ferrero describes them in the last phases of the Roman Republic.
Ferrero recalled this and in the discussion which followed and in which the French novelist, Marcel Prevost, took part, all agreed that there was more hate in Europe than in America; first, because the peoples of Europe were confined in small space and, secondly, because the European, whatever his rank or station, lacked the opportunities for advancement and consequently the eagerness to press on ahead, and that fixing of the thought on the future, instead of the past, which formed part of the American character.
He inquired further of Ferrero, who in the ring was a banderillo that is, one of the people who stick the decorated stakes in the bull's neck possibly Señor Ferrero knew of a mounted capeador by the name of Juan Roca. "'Juan? Who does not? Yes, sir.
And the señora, she points to me as an example. It is true that I am a weak man and I have no wife no family "Ferrero began to laugh. 'Mr. Cogan, there was a lady' begins Ferrero. "'T-t-t, Ferrero allow me. If we shall have old woman's gossip, allow it also to be the truth.
And it is not merely that the modern world is here, but that our view of antiquity is modernized. We see it, not through the mists of time, but as a contemporary might. When Ferrero published his history we were startled by his realistic treatment. It was as if we were reading a newspaper and following the course of current events.
"That night Cogan slipped away from a party of American blue-jackets who wanted to paint Lima in high colors for him, and went down to see Torellas, who had been taken to his home, a fine, large house on a wide street. A crowd was in the street, waiting for word of his condition. "Ferrero met him at the door. 'They wait for you, good friend. "'They? Who?
Up to that last stroke there was a chance that he would hurt somebody, but he hadn't killed or hurt anybody, and now, when he was dragged out dead, Cogan felt half sad. And he said as much to Ferrero. "Ferrero looked at him puzzled. 'Such ideas you have in your country? Why? Leesen now, my friend, I also have a sadness, but consider if you was a bull, or I was a bull.
Ferrero and others have shown that the more intense activities of primitive people tend to be rhythmic and with strongly automatic features.
The bull charged past Ferrero, then, wheeling quickly, made again for Torellas, and his head was lowered to gore again.
These would have given me, I fancy, a more vivid impression of two periods of Roman history than I now possess. Ferrero, who is imparting a fresh interest to the last period of the Roman republic, owes a part of his success, I think, to his thorough digestion and effective use of Cicero's letters, which have the faculty of making one acquainted with Cicero just as if he were a modern man.
