I never tried; but it's my impression that if I had ever whispered a word in her ear I should have got a flea in my own for my pains." "You don't want to make us believe that you have been seeing her frequently all this time, passing hours with her a quattro occhi, and have never made love to her, Ludovico?" said Farini.
When I first began to open my eyes, it was with so perplexed, so weak and dead a sight, that I could yet distinguish nothing but only discern the light: "Come quel ch'or apre, or'chiude Gli occhi, mezzo tra'l sonno e l'esser desto." Tasso, Gierus. As to the functions of the soul, they advanced with the same pace and measure with those of the body.
She was recalled by hearing a very faint voice singing, scarcely more than humming, beneath her. "Oh, dolce luna bianca de l' Estate Mi fugge il sonno accanto a la marina: Mi destan le dolcissime serate Gli occhi di Rosa e il mar di Mergellina." It was the same song that Artois had heard that day as he leaned on the balcony of the Ristorante della Stella.
The Abby, still following him with his eyes from the window, cried: "Be prudent, whatever may happen," and sent him with his hands one more paternal blessing, saying, "Poor child! poor child!"

A worldling like Guerra might so naturally have said "È bella!" for Aurora that evening in her best frock, had been bella beautiful; or he might have said, "Begli occhi!" for her shining blue eyes admitted of that description.

A woman's heart is tenacious, and wide as the world, when it contains that world which is the memory of something perfect that gave it satisfaction. "Mi destan le dolcissime serate Gli occhi do Rosa e il mar di Mergellina." Dear happy, lovable youth that can sing to itself like that in the deep night! Like that once Maurice, her sacred possession of youth, sang.
His eyes, in particular, seem to have been especially beautiful in her sight, as she devotes no less than six sonnets and a madrigal to a description of their charms, calling them occhi stellante, and telling of their power in most fervid terms.
From this shadow there rose a voice singing very softly. "Oh, dolce luna bianca de l' Estate " The shadow went over to the boat, and the voice died away. "Gli occhi di Rosa e il mar di Mergellina." Hermione still was bending down. And she formed the last words with lips that trembled a little. "Gli occhi di Rosa e il mar di Mergellina." Then she said: "Maurice Maurice!"
In his first edition, Vasari tells us that, after his death, his memory was honoured by many epitaphs, among which he quotes the following: "Pianga Cortona omai, vestasi oscura, Che estinti son' del Signorello i lumi; Et tu, Pittura, fa de gli occhi fiumi, Chè resti senza lui debili e scura."
