"Ille ego sum Maurus, franco qui captus ab hoste Exemplum instabilis non leve sortis eo;" and Jean Marot found inspiration in a Venetian song "Ogni fumo viene al basso" which he rendered in the following lines, alluding to the legend of the Moro's fresco in the Castello of Milan:
So Conchita for a new name had been given to her with that terrible sea christening received her first lessons in Spanish; and she proved a most intelligent pupil. Before long she could prattle to Feliu; she would watch for his return of evenings, and announce his coming with "Aqui viene mi papacito?" she learned, too, from Carmen, many little caresses of speech to greet him with.
And yet the paymaster, having a human heart in his breast, had been sorely tried, for the appeal that came for help was one he could not well resist. Passing Ceralvo's at midnight and pushing relentlessly ahead instead of halting there as the men had hoped, the party was challenged in the Mexican tongue. "Que viene?"
Raphael enriched the city of Florence with his works. When asked what had suggested some of the beautiful combinations of his paintings, he said, "They came to me in my sleep." At other times he called them "visions;" and then again said they were the result of "una certa idea che mi viene alla mente."
When at length he made his debut here in the Concert Spirituel, he sang Bach's scena, "Non so d' onde viene" which is, besides, my great favorite, and then for the first time I really heard him sing, and he pleased me that is, in this class of music; but the style itself, the Bernacchi school, is not to my taste. He is too apt to fall into the cantabile.
In the outskirts two ragged, hoof-footed soldiers sprang up from behind the bushes of a hillside and came down upon me, waving their muskets and screaming: "A'onde va? D'onde viene? Have you a pass to go through our department?" "Yes, from your consul in Guatemala."
As he gazed, the train whistled once more, and he saw Gaspare turn round and look towards the sea. He held his breath. "Ecco, signorino. Viene!" Maddalena touched his arm, kept her hand upon it. She was deeply interested in this event, the traversing by the train of the unfinished bridge. Maurice was thankful for that. At least she did not notice his violent perturbation. "Look, signorino! Look!"
It was an awful moment, as you may imagine. I observed him with the greatest attention, and immediately remarked the expression of satisfaction and surprise which overspread his features as he stretched forth his fingers to take another pinch. "Donde vi viene questo maraviglioso tobacco?"
The sun, which rose that morning on a proud army and a defiant metropolis, set at even on a shattered, haggard band, and a city full of woe-stricken wretches who did nothing all night but quake with terror, and cry, at every noise, "Aqui viene los Yanquies!"
They understood at last what the meaning of his message had been, and how closely it applied to themselves, and how much the richer and healthier for it their civic atmosphere had become. They would say, as the soul of Dante said in the New Life: è costui Che viene a consolar la nostra mente, Ed è la sua tanto possente, Ch'altro pensier non lascia star con nui.
