But when it isn't too much a matter of the paraphernalia it is too little a matter of the play. A play nowadays is a rare bird. I should like to see ¦ one. Florentia. There are lots of them, all the while the newspapers talk about them. People talk about them at dinners. Dorriforth. What do they say about them? Florentia. The newspapers? Dorriforth. No, I don't care for them.
This is why the greatest commonness is when our guide turns out a vulgar fellow the angel, as we had supposed him, who has taken us by the hand. Then what becomes of our escape? Florentia. It's precisely then that I complain of him. He leads us into foul and dreary places into flat and foolish deserts. Dorriforth.
Where these crossed was the mediaeval Mercato Vecchio, now enlarged into a patriotic Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele; here we may put the Roman forum, and here too, by the former church of S. Maria in Campidoglio, was the temple of Capitoline Juppiter. However small Florentia was, it possessed the true elements of the Roman town.
There was an artistic intention, and the little room wasn't bare: there was sociable company in it. The actors were very humble aspirants, they were common Auberon. Ah, when the French give their mind to that ! Amicia. They had the air, poor things, of working for love. Auberon. For love of what? Amicia. Of the whole little enterprise the idea of the Théâtre Libre. Florentia.
Gracious, what you see in things! Don't you suppose they were paid? Amicia. I know nothing about it. I liked their shabbiness they had only what was indispensable in the way of dress and scenery. That often pleases me: the imagination, in certain cases, is more finely persuaded by the little than by the much. Dorriforth. I see what Amicia means. Florentia.
Some suppose it to come from Florinus, one of the principal persons of the colony; others think it was originally not Florentia, but Fluentia, and suppose the word derived from fluente, or flowing of the Arno; and in support of their opinion, adduce a passage from Pliny, who says, "the Fluentini are near the flowing of the Arno."
The interior of the tomb was, however, left in some confusion so that the papal legate determined himself to repair it. In this he met with much opposition from the friars who claimed, as of old, jurisdiction over the sepulchre. Nevertheless he completed the work, and in 1692 placed the following upon the tomb: Exulem a Florentia Dantem Liberalissime Excepit Ravenna.
William Thomas in his Historie of the common wealthes of Italy, maketh honorable mention of him twise, to wit, in the commonwealth of Florentia and Ferrara. The Epitaph of the valiant Esquire M. Peter Read in the south Ile of Saint Peters Church in the citie of Norwich, which was knighted by Charles the fift at the winning of Tunis in the yeere of our Lord 1538.
There's such a diversity in our idea of amusement. Auberon. Don't you impute to people more ideas than they have? Dorriforth. Ah, one must do that or one couldn't talk about them. We go to be interested; to be absorbed, beguiled and to lose ourselves, to give ourselves up, in short, to a charm. Florentia. And the charm is the strange, the extraordinary. Amicia. Ah, speak for yourself!
The two great Etruscan highways the coast or Aurelian road from Rome to Pisa and Luna, which was in course of formation in 631, and the Cassian road leading by way of Sutrium and Clusium to Arretium and Florentia, which seems not to have been constructed before 583 may as Roman public highways belong only to this age.
