VII。 Mary Trevellyn to Miss Roper。
He has not come as yet�察 �and now I must not expect it。 You have
written�察�you say�察�to friends at Florence�察�to see him�察 �If he perhaps should
return��but that is surely unlikely。 Has he not written to you��he did
not know your direction。 Oh�察�how strange never once to have told him
where you were going� �Yet if he only wrote to Florence�察 �that would
have reached you。 If what you say he said was true�察 �why has he not
done so�拭 �Is he gone back to Rome�察 �do you think�察 �to his Vatican
marbles�拭 �O my dear Miss Roper�察 �forgive me� �do not be angry� �You
have written to Florence��your friends would certainly find him。 Might
you not write to him ��but yet it is so little likely� �I shall expect nothing
more。Ever yours�察�your affectionate Mary。

VIII。 Claude to Eustace。
I cannot stay at Florence�察 �not even to wait for a letter。
Galleries only oppress me。 Remembrance of hope I had cherished
��Almost more than as hope�察�when I passed through Florence the first time��
Lies like a sword in my soul。 I am more a coward than ever�察�Chicken´
hearted�察�past thought。 The caffes and waiters distress me。 All is unkind�察�
and�察�alas� �I am ready for anyone's kindness。 Oh�察�I knew it of old�察�and knew
it�察 �I thought�察 �to perfection�察 �If there is any one thing in the world to
preclude all kindness It is the need of it��it is this sad�察 �self´defeating
dependence。 Why is this�察 �Eustace�拭 �Myself�察 �were I stronger�察 �I think I
could tell you。 But it is odd when it comes。 So plumb I the deeps of
depression�察�Daily in deeper�察�and find no support�察�no will�察�no purpose。 All
my old strengths are gone。 And yet I shall have to do something。 Ah�察�the
key of our life�察�that passes all wards�察�opens all locks�察�Is not I WILL�察�but I
MUST。 I must��I must��and I do it。
After all�察�do I know that I really cared so about her�拭 �Do whatever I
will�察 �I cannot call up her image�察 �For when I close my eyes�察 �I see�察 �very
likely�察�St。 Peter's�察�Or the Pantheon facade�察�or Michel Angelo's figures�察�Or�察�
at a wish�察�when I please�察�the Alban hills and the Forum�察 �But that face�察�
those eyes��ah�察�no�察�never anything like them�察�Only�察�try as I will�察�a sort of
featureless outline�察�And a pale blank orb�察�which no recollection will add to。
After all�察�perhaps there was something factitious about it�察�I have had pain�察�
it is true�此�I have wept�察�and so have the actors。
At the last moment I have your letter�察�for which I was waiting�察�I have
taken my place�察 �and see no good in inquiries。 Do nothing more�察 �good
Eustace�察�I pray you。 It only will vex me。 Take no measures。 Indeed�察�
should we meet�察�I could not be certain�察 �All might be changed�察�you know。
Or perhaps there was nothing to be changed。 It is a curious history�察�this�察�
and yet I foresaw it�察�I could have told it before。 The Fates�察�it is clear�察�are

against us�察 �For it is certain enough I met with the people you mention�察�
They were at Florence the day I returned there�察 �and spoke to me even�察�
Stayed a week�察�saw me often�察�departed�察�and whither I know not。 Great
is Fate�察�and is best。 I believe in Providence partly。 What is ordained is
right�察�and all that happens is ordered。 Ah�察�no�察�that isn't it。 But yet I retain
my conclusion。 I will go where I am led�察 �and will not dictate to the
chances。 Do nothing more�察�I beg。 If you love me�察�forbear interfering。
IX。 Claude to Eustace。
Shall we come out of it all�察�some day�察�as one does from a tunnel�拭�Will
it be all at once�察�without our doing or asking�察�We shall behold clear day�察�
the trees and meadows about us�察�And the faces of friends�察�and the eyes we
loved looking at us�拭 �Who knows�拭 �Who can say�拭 �It will not do to
suppose it。
X。 Claude to Eustace�察�from Rome。
Rome will not suit me�察 �Eustace�察 �the priests and soldiers possess it�察�
Priests and soldiers��and�察�ah� �which is the worst�察�the priest or the soldier�拭�
Politics�察 �farewell�察 �however� �For what could I do�拭 �with inquiring�察�
Talking�察 �collating the journals�察 �go fever my brain about things o'er
Which I can have no control。 No�察�happen whatever may happen�察 �Time�察�
I suppose�察 �will subsist�察 �the earth will revolve on its axis�察�People will
travel�察�the stranger will wander as now in the city�察 �Rome will be here�察�
and the Pope the custode of Vatican marbles。 I have no heart�察�however�察�
for any marble or fresco�察�I have essayed it in vain�察�'tis in vain as yet to
essay it�此�But I may haply resume some day my studies in this kind�察�Not as
the Scripture says�察�is�察�I think�察�the fact。 Ere our death´day�察�Faith�察�I think�察�
does pass�察�and Love�察�but Knowledge abideth。 Let us seek Knowledge��the
rest may come and go as it happens。 Knowledge is hard to seek�察 �and
harder yet to adhere to。 Knowledge is painful often�察 �and yet when we
know we are happy。 Seek it�察�and leave mere Faith and Love to come with

the chances。 As for Hope��to´morrow I hope to be starting for Naples。
Rome will not do�察�I see�察�for many very good reasons。 Eastward�察�then�察�I
suppose�察�with the coming of winter�察�to Egypt。
XI。 Mary Trevellyn to Miss Roper。
You have heard nothing�察 �of course I know you can have heard
nothing。 Ah�察 �well�察 �more than once I have broken my purpose�察 �and
sometimes�察 �Only too often�察 �have looked for the little lake steamer to
bring him。 But it is only fancy��I do not really expect it。 Oh�察�and you
see I know so exactly how he would take it�此 �Finding the chances prevail
against meeting again�察�he would banish Forthwith every thought of the
poor little possible hope�察 �which I myself could not help�察 �perhaps�察�
thinking only too much of�察 �He would resign himself�察�and go。 I see it
exactly。 So I also submit�察�although in a different manner。 Can you not
really come�拭 �We go very shortly to England。
So go forth to the world�察�to the good report and the evil� �Go�察�little
book� �thy tale�察 �is it not evil and good�拭 �Go�察 �and if strangers revile�察 �pass
quietly by without answer。 Go�察�and if curious friends ask of thy rearing
and age�察 �Say�察 �'I am flitting about many years from brain unto brain of
Feeble and restless youths born to inglorious days�此�But��' so finish the word�察�
'I was writ in a Roman chamber�察 �When from Janiculan heights
thundered the cannon of France。'
