Her icy civility is unendurable. And this woman is my darling Ovid's mother! "Have I done with my troubles now? No, Teresa; not even yet. Oh, how I wish I was with you in Italy! "Your letters persist in telling me that I am deluded in believing Miss Minerva to be truly my friend. Do pray remember even if I am wrong what a solitary position mine is, in Mrs. Gallilee's house!
The same controversy has raged over Ovid's Corinna, who is variously identified as Julia the daughter of the Emperor herself, as a figment of the imagination, or as an ordinary courtesan.
There had been no rain for some time, so that the parched and barren pastures near the town might, with great truth, be called Rosinante's own. The mules feeding on them put you in mind of Ovid's description of famine: Dura cutis, per quam spectari viscera possent. It is somewhat singular that there is not a single river or brook in the whole Island of Antigua.
The whole is worth your attention, not only as an ingenious poem, but as the source of all modern tales, novels, fables, and romances; as Ovid's "Metamorphoses;" was of the ancient ones; besides, that when you have read this work, nothing will be difficult to you in the Italian language.
This was followed, a year later, by a performance of Cefalo, one of the oldest of Italian dramas, a pastoral play composed by Niccolo da Correggio, chiefly taken from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," and which is said to have suggested the subjects of Correggio's famous frescoes in the Abbess of San Paolo's parlour at Parma.
His literary reputation far greater than it now seems to us gave distinction to his position as the author of the chief extant text-book of the art of love. With Humanism and the Renaissance and the consequent realization that Christianity had overlooked one side of life, Ovid's Ars Amatoria was placed on a pedestal it had not occupied before or since.
Ariadne on the island of Naxos lives not more truly in Ovid's poetical Epistles, than Bettina in the Correspondence. But Bettina has not, like Ariadne, had immortality conferred upon her through the verses of two great poets. She has rather taken it for herself, as Goethe said she was wont to do, in anticipating every gift.
It seems clear that so many Jews were in Rome in Ovid's days, many of whom were people of consideration among those with whom he lived, that he may have heard the account in the Hebrew Scriptures translated. Compare JUDAISM by Prof. To Prometheus the Titan and to his brother Epimetheus was committed the task of making man and all other animals, and of endowing them with all needful faculties.
She said to herself, as her kitchen-maid might have said, We will see what comes of it, the third time! Benjulia's letter was among the other letters waiting on the table. She took it up, and read it again. In her present frame of mind, to find her thoughts occupied by the doctor, was to be reminded of Ovid's strange allusion to his professional colleague, on the day of his departure.
It was amongst her books, as also the version by Anguilara, Ovid's Metamorphoses, and Marchetti's Lucreece. "But I wanted to read the Pastor Fido." "We are in a hurry; we must read that another time." "I will follow your advice in all things, my dear Iolas." "That will make me happy, dearest Hebe."
