She turned her dark eyes on me, then turned them upward, and raising her finger with that Italian gesture which can not be imitated, she pronounced that characteristic feminine word of her country: "Forse!" And then dessert was served. Some of the party had departed, some were smoking, others gambling, and a few still at table; some of the women danced, others slept.
"Forse era ver, ma non pero credibile A chi del senso suo fosse Signore." Astolpho's being carried to the moon by St. John, in order to look for Orlando's lost wits, at the end of the 34th book, and the many lost things that he finds there, is a most happy extravagancy, and contains, at the same time, a great deal of sense. I would advise you to read this poem with attention.
I was deeply moved, although I felt that all she had said might be true, and yet was scarcely worthy of belief: 'Forse era ver, ma non pero credibile A chi del senso suo fosse signor. But she was weeping, and her tears, which at all events were not deceptive, took away from me the faculty of doubt.

This 'forse' which may possibly have only been placed there as a flower of rhetoric or as a word to complete the verse, raised a great uproar, which would doubtless have greatly amused the poet if he had had time! "It is a pity," said Madame Denis, "that Ariosto was not more careful in these hyperbolical expressions." "Be quiet, niece, they are full of wit.

At this particular time it was trying for the men, as they were lying flat on their faces, very rarely responding to the bullets, shells, and shrapnel which swept over the hill-top, and which occasionally killed or wounded one of their number. Major Albert G. Forse, of the First Cavalry, a noted Indian fighter, was killed about this time.
