But the poet found the prettiness of the Greek Anthology irresistible. Olindo, tied to the stake amidst the flames of martyrdom, can say to his mistress "Altre fiamme, altri nodi amor promise." Canto ii. st. 34. Other flames, other bonds than these, love promised. The sentiment is natural, but the double use of the "flames" on such an occasion, miserable.
"Ch'egli avria del candor che in te si vede Argomentato in lei non bianca fede." "bulls," no happy comparison certainly. "Vansi a ritrovar non altrimenti Che duo tori gelosi." "has his flames inside of it, and his tears without:" "Che dentro hai le mie fiamme, e fuori il pianto." Argument. PART I. Satan assembles the fiends in council to consider the best means of opposing the Christians.
He sang me also certain songs of the Alpini, in one of which they sing that in the Italian tricolour the green stands for the Alpini, the white for the snow on their mountains and the red for their blood. O these "fiamme verdi," who can talk and sing themselves into such transfigured ecstasies, as to turn, death and pain almost into easy glories!
Of the Infantry, the Alpini collars are green and the Bersaglieri crimson, the bands of colour being shaped in each case like sharp-pointed flames turning outwards. For this reason the Alpini are often called the "fiamme verdi," or green flames, and the Bersaglieri "fiamme rosse," or red flames.
They are, therefore, known as "fiamme nere," or black flames. A large proportion of Arditi are Sicilians, and their fighting quality is very high. Certain detachments of Bersaglieri are also classified as Assault Detachments and wear low-cut tunics like the Arditi.
