The "Pensierosa" and a little girl were at the Paris Salon in 1894, and were much admired. "Herodias" appeared at Vienna in 1894 and at Berlin the following year, while "Primavera" was first seen at the Salon of 1895. This picture laughs, as children laugh, with perfect abandon.
For the rest, there is a Royal Academy Andrea and a formal Ghirlandaio. And now we come to Botticelli, who although less richly represented in numbers than at the Uffizi, is for the majority of his admirers more to be sought here, by reason of the "Primavera" allegory, which is the Accademia's most powerful magnet. The Botticellis are divided between two rooms, the "Primavera" being in the first.
The deaf and dumb do not scruple to converse in signals. 'Have you no sense of beauty? I said to a friend who in the Accademia of Florence suggested that we had stood long enough in front of the 'Primavera. 'No! was his simple, straightforward, quite unanswerable answer. But I have never heard a man assert that he had no sense of humour. And I take it that no such assertion ever was made.
"No, m'm, he isn't mad." Crossing to the hearth-whose Persian-blue tiling had taken her so long to find Cecilia stood beneath a reproduction of Botticelli's "Primavera," and looked doubtfully at Mrs. Hughs. The Persian kitten, sleepy and disturbed on the bosom of her blouse, gazed up into her face.
It was strange, but this was really his first woman friend. If, as he hoped, she became his friend. Lady Sunderbund entered the breakfast room in a gusty abundance like Botticelli's Primavera, and kissed Mrs. Garstein Fellows good-morning. She exhaled a glowing happiness. "He is wondyful," she panted. "He is most wondyful." "Mr. Hidgeway Kelso?" "No, the dee' bishop! I love him.
Referring to the grey silvery trees whose name she bore he assured her that he did not think she resembled them. "They are old and you seem eternally young. You should have been called Primavera." She laughed. "Ah, if you had been my godfather " "I should not have cared to have held you in my arms when you were a bald-headed baby," he answered with perfect gravity.
These rocks have, perhaps, been more deeply soaked with blood than any other part of the entire Allied line on any continent. Here died many thousands of the bravest and the best of the youth of Italy. "Nella primavera si combatte e si muore, o soldato." How many great lovers, fathers, thinkers, poets, statesmen, that might have been, but never were, lie here!
"Yes, does anyone else call you that?" "Only father," she said. "That is his pet name for me 'My Springtime." "You know," he said, "the story you told me of the naming of Spring street; how Ord, the surveyor, named it for his sweetheart, whom he called 'Mi Primavera, is incomplete. Tell me, if you know, did he eventually marry the beautiful Senorita Trinidad de la Guerra?"
