They shot into a narrow canal just beyond the Giardino Reale, and by the time we were floating up between its slimy walls we saw them getting out of their gondola at the steps which lead up near the end of the Via 22 Marzo. When we reached the same spot they were walking up and down the Via in consultation. Getting out he stood on the lower steps watching them. I watched him.
Many children, impatient for the morrow to come, were already parading the streets arrayed in their costumes. Attractive stores line the "Strada Reale," the main shopping street. In these stores laces, gold and silver filagree work, jewelry, and embroidered muslins were the principal wares sought by the tourists.
Establishing myself at the Albergo Reale for this and the two following days, I sallied out, to wander everywhere and see everything. Milan is of ancient days; and few cities have seen greater changes of fortune.
As a guard of honour here, stand Fogelberg's Odin, and Sergei's Amor and Psyche. And what is the Streamparterre? The Neapolitans would tell us: It is in miniature quite in miniature the Stockholmers' "Villa Reale." The Hamburgers would say: It is in miniature quite in miniature the Stockholmers' "Jungfernstieg."
After the Duke's departure we went ashore again, called on various friends before luncheon, and went over the palace and through the armoury. Then we took a walk down the Strada Reale, the shopping street of Valetta, until it was time to go on board to receive some friends to tea.
Delme did not think it advisable, to remain too long in the metropolis of Sicily; and the travellers contented themselves, with the sight-seeing of the immediate neighbourhood. They admired the mosaics of the Chiesa di Monte Reale; and fed the pheasants, at that beautiful royal villa, well styled "the Favourite."
Ens realissimum is the only ens reale; all else is mere appearance. Just here, however, lies an indication of another line of thought. For what is an appearance, and what is it that appears? It can only be reality that thus appears; the 'mere' appearance is yet an 'appearance of reality. It might seem that this is to catch, not at a straw, but at the shadow of a straw.
The Larvæ were regular characters in the Atellane farces at Rome, where they performed various "danses macabres." Can these possibly be the prototypes of the Dances of Death so popular in the Middle Ages? We find something very similar on the well-known silver cups discovered at Bosco Reale, though Death itself does not seem to have been represented in this way.
It was accompanied by a deluge such as I had never witnessed, except perhaps in Calabria. In an instant the Villa Reale appeared to be a part of the sea; the water came up to the windows of the ground-floor, and flooded the parlours. A minute afterwards, the servants came to tell M. Zill that his cellars were full, and his casks of wine floating about and staving one another.
