In such a cabin, methinks, dwelt those two old fishermen of Theocritus here they lived and slumbered side by side on a couch of sea moss, among the rude implements of their craft. The habits of these fisherfolk are antique, because the incidents of their calling have remained unchanged. Some people have detected traces of "Greek" in the looks and language of these of Tarante.
They had both eventful lives; for Baron Louis, who had been in orders, and Talleyrand officiated at the Champs de Mars when Louis the Sixteenth took the oath to maintain the constitution. Field-Marshal Macdonald, Duc de Tarante, and his son-in-law, the Duc de Massa; Admiral de Rigny, Minister of Marine; M. Barthe, Garde des Sceaux; and the Bouvards, father and son, formed the party.
A mile or so before reaching Tarante the railway crosses a stream that flows into the inland sea. One would be glad to believe those sages who hold it to be the far-famed Galaesus.
Via Ennio. . . . It is the swing of the pendulum. The old pagan, at this moment, may be nearer to our ideals and aspirations than the flying monk who died only yesterday, so to speak. But a few years hence who can tell? A characteristic episode. I had carefully timed myself to catch the returning train to Tarante.
I can detect nothing of the kind. And the same with the rest of the population. Hellenic traits have disappeared from Tarante, as well they may have done, when one remembers its history. It was completely latinized under Augustus, and though Byzantines came hither under Nicephorus Phocas Benjamin of Tudela says the inhabitants are "Greeks" they have long ago become merged into the Italian element.
The true courtship of these Don Giovannis of Tarante will be quite another affair a cash transaction, and no credit allowed. They will select a life partner, upon the advice of ma mere and a strong committee of uncles and aunts, but not until the military service is terminated. Everything in its proper time and place. Meanwhile they gaze and perhaps even serenade.
