Snowstorms are characteristic of polar latitudes; nevertheless, at times they glide one might almost say tumble into our climates; so much ruin is mingled with the chances of the air. The Matutina, as we have seen, plunged resolutely into the great hazard of the night, a hazard increased by the impending storm.
It is with its drops the ocean dissolves you. You feel you are a plaything. A plaything ghastly epithet! The Matutina was a little above Aurigny, which was not an unfavourable position; but she was drifting towards its northern point, which was fatal. As a bent bow discharges its arrow, the nor'-wester was shooting the vessel towards the northern cape.
D. Pedro, la hora es bastante inoportuna, y bien sabe Dios que no sé cómo disculparme con usted. DON PEDRO. ¿De qué, amigo mío? DON EDUARDO. Por una visita realmente demasiado matutina e inesperada. DON PEDRO. ¿Y quién le dice a usted que yo no esperaba esta misma visita? DON EDUARDO. ¿Que me esperaba, dice usted?
"Matutina ligat Christum qui crimina purgat." "Although I should die with Thee, I will not deny Thee." "And in like manner also said they all." "Pray, lest you enter into temptation," "And being in agony He prayed the longer." "Friend, whereunto art thou come? " "And they holding Jesus led Him away" the Garden. "Art thou one of His disciples?"
The wall of night that circular occlusion, that interior of a cylinder the diameter of which was lessening minute by minute enveloped the Matutina, and, with the sinister deliberation of an encroaching iceberg, was drawing in dangerously. In the zenith nothing a lid of fog closing down. It was as if the hooker were at the bottom of the well of the abyss.
Let us, then, take a stroll among them, starting from that bright centre of the foreigners' quarter of Rome, the Piazza di Spagna. It is a brilliant January day, and, we will say, ten o'clock in the morning. In the Via Babuino and the neighboring streets, which the sun has not yet visited, the morning cold is a little sharp. Matutina parum cautos jam frigora mordent.
The wave reared up under the vessel and fell back, throwing the waif back in its mane of foam. The Matutina, thus impelled, drifted away from Aurigny. She was again on the open sea. Whence had come the succour? From the wind. The breath of the storm had changed its direction. The wave had played with them; now it was the wind's turn. They had saved themselves from the Caskets.
I annex as literal a translation as possible, and from the beauty and ease of their latinity, have been tempted to precede it with the original words. "Laura, propriis virtutibus illustris, et meis longum celebrata carminibus, primum oculis meis apparuit sub primum adolescentiæ meæ tempus, anno Domini 1327, die 6 mensis Aprilis, in ecclesiâ sanctæ Claræ Avinioni, horâ matutinâ.
Among these plates two were genuinely inspiring: that with the title, Stella Matutina, and the other with the words, Spiritus Sancte Deus; but another, the broadest, the most decisive, and the simplest of them all, bearing the title Sol Justitiæ, seemed best of all to set forth the individual sympathies of the artist.
It is in the first place an attribute alluding to the most beautiful and expressive of her many titles: "Stella Maris" Star of the Sea, which is one interpretation of her Jewish name, Miriam: but she is also "Stella Jacobi," the Star of Jacob; "Stella Matutina," the Morning Star; "Stella non Erratica," the Fixed Star.
