Yet, after all, there is one of his most characteristic moods, to appreciate which fully we return to the Madonna dell' Orto. I have called him 'the painter of impossibilities. At rare moments he rendered them possible by sheer imaginative force.
A few minutes later she was knocking at the door of Alessandro Stradella's lodgings near Santa Maria dell' Orto. She knocked firmly and confidently, like a person quite sure of admittance. But no one came to open, and she heard no sound from within; so she knocked again, and after a shorter interval a third time. There was no answer, and nothing broke the stillness.
"Guido an image of my Lady dwells At S. Michele in Orto, consecrate And duly worshipped. Fair in holy state She listens to the tale each sinner tells: And among them that come to her, who ails The most, on him the most doth blessing wait. She bids the fiend men's bodies abdicate; Over the curse of blindness she prevails, And heals sick languors in the public squares.
"I've kep' singin' school one term, besides leadin' the Methodis' choir in Slocumville: so I orto know a little somethin' about it." "Perhaps you play, and if so, we'd like to hear you," continued John Jr., in spite of the deprecating glance cast upon him by Carrie. "Not such a dreadful sight," answered Joel, sauntering toward the piano and drumming a part of "Auld Lang Syne."
Whatever in Gawd A'mighty's world you was borned for certainly is more'n I can tell and I your Maw at that, that orto know if anybody could." "Madam," I interrupted, astonished at this discourse, "what do you mean by such talk to your son for I presume he is your son. Why do you abuse him in this way?" I was sorry for the shivering wretch whom she had made the object of her wrath.
I think you orto leave him lay, just the way he dropped, for the coroner. That's the law." Frost was of the same opinion. He had no stomach for prying around dead men, anyhow. "We'll leave him lay, Sol," said he. "And it's my opinion that you orto put handcuffs on that feller," said Sol. "Which feller?" asked Bill. "That boy Joe," said Sol.
And recollecting that fresco of Signorelli's, you feel as if this vast, tall canvas at S. Maria dell' Orto, where topple and welter the dead and the quick, were merely so much rhetorical rhodomontade by the side of the old hymn of the Last Day "Mors stupebit et natura Quum resurget creatura Judicanti responsura."
He also painted in the orto, or garden, of the convent, the now perished fresco of the Parable of the Vineyard. Meanwhile, the rival friends had changed lodgings; they left the Piazza del Grano, and took rooms in the Sapienza, a street between the Piazza San Marco and the S. Annunziata.
"Yes, I seen her," answered Sally, "and I guess she's weakly, for the minit she got into the house she lay down on the sofa, which Mr. Gilbert says cost seventy-five dollars. That tall, proud-lookin' thing they call Miss Adaline, but I'll warrant you don't catch me puttin' on the miss. I called her Adaline, and you had orto seen how her big eyes looked at me.
"I'd gone in to see what kind of folks they were first," remarked Bobaday. "Yes, sir; that's what I'd orto done. But I leads them round to their feed-box after I watered 'em to a spring o' runnin' water. Then I doesn't know but the woman o' the house will give me a supper if I pays for it. So I slips to the side door and knocks. And a man opens the door." Robert Day drew in his breath quickly.
