All the churches in an ordinary American city put together could hardly buy the jeweled frippery in one of her hundred cathedrals. And for every beggar in America, Italy can show a hundred and rags and vermin to match. It is the wretchedest, princeliest land on earth.
These pieces of stone, stained and dusty with age, dimly hint at a grandeur we have all been taught to regard as the princeliest ever seen on earth; and they call up pictures of a pageant that is familiar to all imaginations camels laden with spices and treasure beautiful slaves, presents for Solomon's harem a long cavalcade of richly caparisoned beasts and warriors and Sheba's Queen in the van of this vision of "Oriental magnificence."
