Sida 48 - Insuperable height of loftiest shade, Cedar, and pine, and fir, and branching palm, A sylvan scene, and, as the ranks ascend Shade above shade, a woody theatre Of stateliest view.
Sida 89 - Ahi, Costantin, di quanto- mal fu matre , Non la tua conversion , ma quella dote Che da te prese il primo ricco patre...
Sida 10 - while the capital of a republic, was celebrated for its profusion of marble, its patrician towers, and its grave magnificence. It still can boast some marble churches, a marble palace, and a marble bridge. Its towers, though no longer a mark of nobility, may be traced in the walls of modernized houses. Its gravity pervades every street ; but its magnificence is now confined to one sacred corner. There...
Sida 223 - If detected in theft, a lazarone will ask you, with impudent surprise, how you could possibly expect a poor man to be an angel. Yet what are these wretches? Why, men whose persons might stand as models to a sculptor; whose gestures strike you with the commanding energy of a savage ; whose language, gaping and broad as it is, when kindled by passion, bursts into oriental metaphor ; whose ideas are cooped indeed within a narrow circle, but a circle in which they are invincible.
Sida 45 - ... se non sibi parcere. Occurrendum ergo augescentibus vitiis et medendum est. Medendi una ratio, si non nummo, sed partibus locem ac deinde ex meis aliquos operis exactores custodes fructibus ponam.
Sida 28 - I saw nothing here so grand as the group of Niobe ; if statues which are now disjointed and placed equidistantly round a room, may be so called. Niobe herself, clasped by the arm of her terrified child, is certainly a group ; and whether the head be original or not, the contrast of passion, of beauty, and even of dress, is admirable. The dress of the other daughters appears too thin, too meretricious, for dying princesses. Some of the sons exert too much attitude. Like gladiators, they seem taught...
Sida 68 - In some parts the water is brackish, and lies lower than the sea : in others it oozes full of tartar from beds of travertine. At the bottom or on the sides of hills are a multitude of hot springs , which form pools , called Lagoni. A few of these are said to produce borax: some, which are called fumache, exhale sulphur; others, called bulicami, boil with a mephitic gas.
Sida 12 - One of their litterati took pains to convince me that the German architect contrived this declination, which his Italian successors endeavoured to rectify. The Campo Santo. The portico of this vast rectangle is formed by such arcades as we find in Roman architecture. Every arch is round, and every pillar faced with pilasters; but each arcade includes an intersection of small arches rising from slender shafts like the mullions of a Gothic window. This, however, looks like an addition foreign to the...
Sida 99 - Viewed in its design, its altitude, or even its decoration; viewed either as a whole or as a part, it enchants the eye, it satisfies the taste, it expands the soul. The very air seems to eat up all that is harsh or colossal, and leaves us nothing but the sublime to feast on:—a sublime peculiar as the genius of the immortal architect, and comprehensible only on the spot.
Sida 84 - Here sat the conquerors of the world, coolly to enjoy the tortures and death of men who had never offended them. Two aqueducts were scarcely sufficient to wash off...
