AMOURS DE VOYAGE。
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。

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�

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
neighbourhood have�察 �and are careful to keep�察 �some Threadbar
