                                      Canto I。 



       Over   the   great   windy   waters�察  �and   over   the   clear´crested   summits�察�

Unto the sun and the sky�察�and unto the perfecter earth�察�Come�察�let us go��to 

a   land   wherein   gods   of   the   old   time   wandered�察    �Where   every   breath 

even now changes to ether divine。 Come�察�let us go�察�though withal a voice 

whisper�察�'The world that we live in�察            �Whithersoever we turn�察�still is the 

same narrow crib�察�'Tis but to prove limitation�察�and measure a cord�察�that we 

travel�察    �Let who would 'scape and be free go to his chamber and think�察�

'Tis but to change idle fancies for memories wilfully falser�察                �'Tis but to 

go and have been。'Come�察�little bark� �let us go。 

       I。 Claude to Eustace。 

     Dear Eustatio�察�I write that you may write me an answer�察�Or at the least 

to put us again en rapport with each other。 Rome disappoints me much��St 

Peter's�察  �perhaps�察  �in   especial�察  �Only   the Arch   of   Titus   and   view   from   the 

Lateran please me�此�This�察�however�察�perhaps is the weather�察�which truly is 

horrid。 Greece must be better�察�surely�察�and yet I am feeling so spiteful�察�That 

I could travel to Athens�察�to Delphi�察�and Troy�察�and Mount Sinai�察�Though but 

to   see   with   my   eyes   that   these   are   vanity  also。 Rome   disappoints   me 

much�察�I hardly as yet understand it�察�but RUBBISHY seems the word that 

most exactly would suit it。 All the foolish destructions�察�and all the sillier 

savings�察�All the incongruous things of past incompatible ages�察�Seem to be 

treasured up here to make fools of present and future。 Would to Heaven 

the old Goths had made a cleaner sweep of it� �Would to Heaven some new 

ones   would   come   and   destroy  these   churches�   �However�察 �one   can   live   in 

Rome as also in London。 It is a blessing�察�no doubt�察�to be rid�察�at least for a 

time�察�of All one's friends and relations��yourself ��forgive me�。� included�察�

All   the   assujettissement   of   having   been   what   one   has   been�察  �What   one 

thinks one is�察�or thinks that others suppose one�察�Yet�察�in despite of all�察�we 

turn like fools to the English。 Vernon has been my fate�察�who is here the 

same that you knew him�察�Making the tour�察�it seems�察�with friends of the 

name of Trevellyn。

       II。 Claude to Eustace。 

     Rome      disappoints     me    still�察 �but  I  shrink    and   adapt   myself     to  it。 

Somehow         a  tyrannous      sense    of   a  superincumbent        oppression      Still�察�

wherever I go�察�accompanies ever�察�and makes me Feel like a tree ��shall I 

say�殖� buried under a ruin of brickwork。 Rome�察�believe me�察�my friend�察�is 

like   its   own   Monte   Testaceo�察  �Merely   a   marvellous   mass   of   broken   and 

castaway   wine´pots。 Ye   gods�   �what   do   I   want   with   this   rubbish   of   ages 

departed�察�Things that Nature abhors�察�the experiments that she has failed in�拭�

What do I find in the Forum�拭           �An archway and two or three pillars。 Well�察�

but   St。   Peter's�拭  �Alas�察  �Bernini   has   filled   it   with   sculpture�   �No   one   can 

cavil�察�I grant�察 �at   the   size of   the great   Coliseum。  Doubtless the   notion of 

grand and capacious and massive amusement�察�This the old Romans had�察�

but tell me�察�is this an idea�拭�Yet of solidity much�察�but of splendour little is 

extant�此  �'Brickwork   I   found   thee�察  �and   marble   I   left   thee��'   their   Emperor 

vaunted�察  �'Marble   I   thought   thee�察  �and   brickwork   I   find   thee��'   the   Tourist 

may answer。 

       III。 Georgina Trevellyn to Louisa 。 

     At last�察�dearest Louisa�察�I take up my pen to address you。 Here we are�察�

you   see�察  �with   the   seven´and´seventy   boxes�察  �Courier�察  �Papa   and   Mamma�察�

the children�察�and Mary and Susan�此�Here we all are at Rome�察�and delighted 

of course with St。 Peter's�察�And very pleasantly lodged in the famous Piazza 

di Spagna。  Rome   is a  wonderful   place�察�but   Mary  shall tell   you   about   it�察�

Not   very  gay�察  �however�察  �the   English   are   mostly  at   Naples�察�There   are   the 

A。's�察�we hear�察�and most of the W。 party。              George�察�however�察�is come�察�did I 

tell you about his mustachios�拭�Dear�察�I must really stop�察�for the carriage�察�

they tell me�察�is waiting�察�Mary will finish�察�and Susan is writing�察�they say�察�to 

Sophia。 Adieu�察�dearest Louise��evermore your faithful Georgina。 Who can 

a Mr。 Claude be whom George has taken to be with�拭�Very stupid�察�I think�察�

but George says so VERY clever。 

       IV。 Claude to Eustace。 

     No�察   �the   Christian    faith�察 �as   at  any   rate   I  understood     it�察 �With    its 

humiliations      and    exaltations    combining�察     �Exaltations     sublime�察   �and    yet 

diviner abasements�察�Aspirations from something most shameful here upon

earth    and   In   our   poor   selves    to   something     most   perfect    above   in   the 

heavens�察�No�察�the Christian faith�察�as I�察�at least�察�understood it�察�Is not here�察�

O   Rome�察  �in   any   of   these   thy   churches�察  �Is   not   here�察  �but   in   Freiburg�察  �or 

Rheims�察     �or   Westminster      Abbey。     What    in   thy   Dome     I  find�察 �in  all  thy 

recenter     efforts�察  �Is  a  something�察     �I  think�察  �more    RATIONAL   far�察        �more 

earthly�察�Actual�察�less ideal�察�devout not in scorn and refusal�察�But in a positive�察�

calm�察�Stoic´Epicurean acceptance。 This I begin to detect in St。 Peter's and 

some   of   the   churches�察  �Mostly   in   all   that   I   see   of   the   sixteenth´century 

masters�察  �Overlaid   of   course   with   infinite   gauds   and   gewgaws�察  �Innocent�察�

playful follies�察�the toys and trinkets of childhood�察�Forced on maturer years�察�

as   the   serious   one   thing   needful�察  �By   the   barbarian   will   of   the   rigid   and 

ignorant   Spaniard。         Curious   work�察  �meantime�察  �re´entering   society�此  �how 

we Walk a livelong day�察�great Heaven�察�and watch our shadows� �What our 

shadows   seem�察  �forsooth�察  �we   will   ourselves   be。   Do   I   look   like   that�拭  �you 

think me that�此�then I AM that。 

       V。 Claude to Eustace。 

     Luther�察�they say�察�was unwise�察�like a half´taught German�察�he could not 

See that old follies were passing most tranquilly out of remembrance�察�Leo 

the Tenth was employing all efforts to clear out abuses�察�Jupiter�察�Juno�察�and 

Venus�察�Fine Arts�察�and Fine Letters�察�the Poets�察�Scholars�察�and Sculptors�察�and 

Painters�察�were quietly clearing away the Martyrs�察�and Virgins�察�and Saints�察�

or at any rate Thomas Aquinas�此�He must forsooth make a fuss and distend 

his huge Wittenberg lungs�察�and Bring back Theology once yet again in a 

flood upon Europe�此�Lo you�察�for forty days from the windows of heaven it 

fell�察�the Waters prevail on the earth yet more for a hundred and fifty�察�Are 

they abating at last�拭�the doves that are sent to explore are                 Wearily fain to 

return�察�at the best with a leaflet of promise�察�Fain to return�察�as they went�察�

to the wandering wave´tost vessel�察�Fain to re´enter the roof which covers 

the   clean   and   the   unclean�察  �Luther�察  �they  say�察  �was   unwise�察  �he   didn't   see 

how things were going�察�Luther was foolish��but�察�O great God� �what call 

you   Ignatius�拭  �O   my   tolerant   soul�察  �be   still�   �but   you   talk   of   barbarians�察�

Alaric�察�Attila�察�Genseric��why�察�they came�察�they killed�察�they Ravaged�察�and

fanaticized   Europe�察  �which   now   can   forget   them�察  �release   not   This�察  �their

       VI。 Claude to Eustace。 

     Which of three Misses Trevellyn it is that Vernon shall marry Is not a 

thing to be known�察�for our friend is one of those natures Which have their 

perfect    delight    in  the  general    tender´domestic�察     �So   that   he  trifles  with 

Mary's shawl�察�ties Susan's bonnet�察�Dances with all�察�but at home is most�察�

they say�察�with Georgina�察�Who is�察�however�察�TOO silly in my apprehension 

for Vernon。 I�察�as before when I wrote�察�continue to see them a little�察�Not 

that   I   like   them   much   or   care   a   bajocco   for   Vernon�察  �But   I   am   slow   at 

Italian�察�have not many English acquaintance�察�And I am asked�察�in short�察�and 

am  not   good   at   excuses。   Middle´class   people   these�察  �bankers   very   likely�察�

not wholly Pure of the taint of the shop�察�will at table d'hote and restaurant 

Have their shilling's worth�察�their penny's pennyworth even�此�Neither man's 

aristocracy this�察�nor God's�察�God knoweth� �Yet they are fairly  descended�察�

they   give   you   to   know�察  �well   connected�察  �Doubtless   somewhere   in   some
