We all looked about us, when we discovered this, for the other six, and another of the foolish geographical illusions of the school-room was shattered for each of us. The Rome of my imagination was as distinctly seven-hilled as a quadruped is four-legged, the Rome I saw had no eminences to speak of anywhere.
Peter, extended the sway of the new family of the Orsini. Other members of the nobility, in the country, held their seats in small fortified cities or castles. Under such domination Rome had become almost deserted. "The population of the seven-hilled city had come down to about thirty thousand souls."
The battle goes on everywhere throughout civilization; but here, here, here is the broad white flag flying which proclaims, first of all, peace and good-will to men, and, next to that, the absolute, unconditional spiritual liberty of each individual immortal soul! The three-hilled city against the seven-hilled city!
But to me these monuments of high ambition and royal splendour create only images of the future.

No fear disturbed the long current of his thoughts. His brothers were the leaders of Rienzi's hireling army that army were his creatures. Over Rienzi himself he assumed the right of a creditor.
And it is because it is so adapted to man's spiritual nature that the Catholic religion has withstood the shock and surge of ages! The restless, heaving billows of time have washed against the seven-hilled Church in vain. My soul rests in peace. It has taken its abode in Elysium.
He clearly explains indeed that those who rule in the Seven-hilled city represent no other than the Scarlet Woman spoken of in the Apocalypse, their system being in truth the Mystery of Iniquity." "Oh, dreadful!" exclaimed the young lady. "Why, Cousin Nigel, you are a rank heretic, and were you to express such opinions as these in public, your life would be in danger.
Twice, being challenged, we drove on unheeding at furious speed and escaped in the darkness, although shots were fired after us. As morning broke on January 20th we had our first view of the seven-hilled city on the James, with its green islands and its tumbling muddy waters.
