Therefore people came in crowds; and it may be said for certain that in the eight years of his papacy, the population of Rome increased by one third. Vettori prudently refuses to sum up the good and bad of Leo's character in one decisive sentence.
He was a man born to aim at all, to dare all, to embrace all, to leave his personality deep-trenched on all the provinces of art he chose to traverse. The whole of 1516 and 1517 elapsed before Leo's plans regarding S. Lorenzo took a definite shape.
You may see the same law showing itself in the brief periods of glory which make the names of Pericles and Augustus illustrious with reflected splendors; in the painters, the sculptors, the scholars of "Leo's golden days"; in the authors of the Elizabethan time; in the poets of the first part of this century following that dreary period, suffering alike from the silence of Cowper and the song of Hayley.
I was thinking about Antonia and her children; about Anna's solicitude for her, Ambrosch's grave affection, Leo's jealous, animal little love. That moment, when they all came tumbling out of the cave into the light, was a sight any man might have come far to see. Antonia had always been one to leave images in the mind that did not fade that grew stronger with time.
We were searching carefully as we went for Leo's promised indication of his route, when Mango suddenly started off, and running a few paces, lifted up a small cross, formed of two pieces of wood, fastened together by the material of which the natives make their mats. Mango's delight was excessive. "See I see!" he exclaimed.
That's all!" "He can't provide, baby." "'Shh-h-h, ma! Try to get calm, and maybe then then things can come like you want 'em. 'Shh-h-h, dearie! I didn't mean it. 'Course Leo's only a kid. I We Mommy dear, don't. You're killing me. I didn't mean it. I didn't." "Sure, baby? Sure?" "Sure." "Mama's girl," sobbed Mrs. Kaufman, scooping the small form to her bosom and relaxing.
Hard on twenty years have gone by since that night of Leo's vision the most awful years, perhaps, which were ever endured by men twenty years of search and hardship ending in soul-shaking wonder and amazement. My death is very near to me, and of this I am glad, for I desire to pursue the quest in other realms, as it has been promised to me that I shall do.
"Because she's something like you, but low down, where you'd never go." He drew his chair a little closer to hers. "Would you?" he added, almost in a whisper. Mr. Laycock, who was in raptures over Miss Schley's performance, had got up to speak to Fritz, but found the latter being steadily hypnotised by Mrs. Leo's trumpet, which went up towards his mouth whenever he opened it.
"I'll never leave you mama, even if he shouldn't want me." "He will, darling, and does! Those were his words. 'A room for Alma." "I'll never leave you!" "You will! Much as Louis and me want you with us every minute, we won't stand in your way! That's another reason I'm so happy, Alma. I'm not alone, any more now. Leo's so crazy over you, just waiting for the chance to pop " "Shh-sh-h-h."
Clip the MS. of the Polonaise to the same size, number the pages, and fold it like the Prelude, add to the whole my letter to Mechetti, and deliver it into Leo's own hands, praying him to send it by the first mail, as Mechetti is waiting for it. If he does not wish to acquire the right of publication for London, tell him to inform me of it by letter.
