May it perhaps be that by saying "We must not talk about it," they succeed in not thinking about it? Our will is weakened? And what then? We lose the capacity for human action? And what then? It is very convenient to tell a man whom a fatal disease condemns to an early death, and who knows it, not to think about it. Meglio oprando obliar, senzá indagarlo, Questo enorme mister del universo!
After his death the riddle was solved by finding among his papers the following interpretation Austri Est Imperare Orbi Universo. Austria Is To govern The world Universal. Maximilian, in the prime of manhood, energetic, ambitious, and invested with the imperial dignity, now assumed the government of the Austrian States. The prospect of greatness was brilliant before Maximilian.
Part of a letter to Mrs. Fitz-Gerald gives an insight into the character of his life there: all the stronger that it was written under a temporary depression which it partly serves to explain. Albergo dell' Universo, Venezia, Italia: Sept. 24, '81. 'Dear Friend, On arriving here I found your letter to my great satisfaction and yesterday brought the 'Saturday Review' for which, many thanks.
At Venice for a time the quiet Albergo dell' Universo suited Browning and his sister well, but when Mrs Bronson pressed them to accept the use of a suite of rooms in the Palazzo Giustiniani Recanati and the kind offer was accepted, the gain was considerable; and the Palazzo has historical associations dating from the fifteenth century which pleased Browning's imagination.
They have not yet seen the swift, bright light of a first doubt flash across the darkness of their brain giving to it a shock of unsuspected vibrations. As yet no glorious Prometheus has arisen amongst those primitive creatures far whom the discouraging counsel of the Italian poet might seem to have been in part written: Meglio oprando obliar, senza indagarlo, Quest'enorme mister dell' universo!
"That's his uncle's doing the Jesuit!" cried Malatesta. "This is the second time. Marescotti will be shut up for life." "Did they catch him?" asked Orsetti. "No; he got out of an upper window, and escaped across the roof. He had taken all the upper floor of the Universo for his accomplices, who were expected from Paris." "Honor to Lucca!" Malatesta put in. "We are progressing."
"Give me time! give me time!" was Franchi's answer. He raised his head, and eyed them all with a look of feigned surprise. "Is it possible no one has heard it?" He was answered by a general protest that nothing had been heard. "Nobody knows what has happened at the Universo?" Franchi asked with unusual energy. "No, no!" burst forth from Malatesta and Orsetti. "No, no!" sounded from behind.
After you left the Orsetti ball, Malatesta asked me and the other young men of their set to supper at the Universo Hotel." "Mercy on us!" ejaculated the cavaliere, who was now thoroughly irritated, "you consider yourself one of their set, do you? I congratulate you, young man. This is news to me." "Certainly, cavaliere, if you ask me, I do consider myself one of their set."
Miss Browning also once attempted the visit, but was not allowed to enter the monastery. She slept in the adjoining convent. The brother and sister were again at the Universo in 1879, 1880, and 1881; but the crash was rapidly approaching, and soon afterwards it came.
The love which made them one in guilt, one in condemnation, is stronger than death, stronger than hell; but it cannot bring peace and joy to these souls shut out from heaven and God. "Se fosse amico il Re dell' universo, Noi pregheremmo." But even prayer is denied to him who feels that he has not God for a friend.
