Fiesole's heights��thither are we to return�拭�There is a city that fringes the
curve of the inflowing waters�察 �Under the perilous hill fringes the
beautiful bay�察�Parthenope�察�do they call thee��the Siren�察�Neapolis�察�seated
Under Vesevus's hill��are we receding to thee�拭�Sicily�察�Greece�察�will invite�察�

its children the best�拭�
I。 Mary Trevellyn�察�at Lucerne�察�to Miss Roper�察�at
Florence。
So you are really free�察 �and living in quiet at Florence�察 �That is
delightful news�察�you travelled slowly and safely�察�Mr。 Claude got you out�察�
took rooms at Florence before you�察�Wrote from Milan to say so�察�had left
directly for Milan�察�Hoping to find us soon��if he could�察�he would�察�you are
certain。 Dear Miss Roper�察�your letter has made me exceedingly happy。
You are quite sure�察�you say�察�he asked you about our intentions�察�You had
not heard as yet of Lucerne�察�but told him of Como。 Well�察�perhaps he will
come�察�however�察�I will not expect it。 Though you say you are sure��if he
can�察 �he will�察 �you are certain。 O my dear�察 �many thanks from your ever
affectionate Mary。
II。 Claude to Eustace。
Florence。 Action will furnish belief��but will that belief be the
true one�拭�This is the point�察�you know。 However�察�it doesn't much matter。
What one wants�察�I suppose�察�is to predetermine the action�察�So as to make it
33

entail�察�not a chance belief�察�but the true one。 Out of the question�察�you say�察�if
a thing isn't wrong we may do it。 Ah� �but this WRONG�察�you seebut I do
not know that it matters。 Eustace�察�the Ropers are gone�察�and no one can tell
me about them。
Pisa。 Pisa�察�
they say they think�察�and so I follow to Pisa�察�Hither and thither inquiring。
I weary of making inquiries。 I am ashamed�察 �I declare�察 �of asking people
about it。 Who are your friends�拭 �You said you had friends who would
certainly know them。
Florence。
But it is idle�察�moping�察�and thinking�察�and trying to fix her Image once more
and more in�察 �to write the whole perfect inscription Over and over again
upon every page of remembrance。 I have settled to stay at Florence to
wait for your answer。 Who are your friends�拭 �Write quickly and tell me。
I wait for your answer。
III。 Mary Trevellyn to Miss Roper。at Lucca Baths。
You are at Lucca baths�察�you tell me�察�to stay for the summer�察�Florence
was quite too hot�察�you can't move further at present。 Will you not come�察�do
you think�察 �before the summer is over�拭 �Mr。 C。 got you out with very
considerable trouble�察�And he was useful and kind�察�and seemed so happy to
serve you。 Didn't stay with you long�察�but talked very openly to you�察�Made
you almost his confessor�察�without appearing to know it�察�What about�拭�
and you say you didn't need his confessions。 O my dear Miss Roper�察�I dare
not trust what you tell me� �Will he come�察�do you think�拭 �I am really so
sorry for him。 They didn't give him my letter at Milan�察�I feel pretty certain。
You had told him Bellaggio。 We didn't go to Bellaggio�察 �So he would
miss our track�察 �and perhaps never come to Lugano�察 �Where we were
written in full�察�To Lucerne across the St。 Gothard。 But he could write to
you��you would tell him where you were going。

IV。 Claude to Eustace。
Let me�察 �then�察 �bear to forget her。 I will not cling to her falsely�此�
Nothing factitious or forced shall impair the old happy relation。 I will let
myself go�察�forget�察�not try to remember�察�I will walk on my way�察�accept the
chances that meet me�察�Freely encounter the world�察�imbibe these alien airs�察�
and Never ask if new feelings and thoughts are of her or of others。 Is she
not changing herself��the old image would only delude me。 I will be bold�察�
too�察�and change��if it must be。 Yet if in all things�察�Yet if I do but aspire
evermore to the Absolute only�察�I shall be doing�察�I think�察�somehow�察�what
she will be doing�察�I shall be thine�察�O my child�察�some way�察�though I know
not in what way�察�Let me submit to forget her�察�I must�察�I already forget her。
V。 Claude to Eustace。
Utterly vain is�察 �alas� �this attempt at the Absolute��wholly� �I�察 �who
believed not in her�察�because I would fain believe nothing�察�Have to believe
as I may�察�with a wilful�察�unmeaning acceptance。 I�察�who refused to enfasten
the roots of my floating existence In the rich earth�察�cling now to the hard�察�
naked rock that is left me�察 �Ah� �she was worthy�察 �Eustace��and that�察�
indeed�察�is my comfort�察�Worthy a nobler heart than a fool such as I could
have given her。
Yes�察�it relieves me to write�察�though I do not send�察�and the chance that
Takes may destroy my fragments。 But as men pray�察 �without asking
Whether One really exist to hear or do anything for them�察 �Simply
impelled by the need of the moment to turn to a Being In a conception of
whom there is freedom from all limitation�察�So in your image I turn to an
ens rationis of friendship�察�Even so write in your name I know not to whom
nor in what wise。
There was a time�察 �methought it was but lately departed�察 �When�察 �if a
thing was denied me�察�I felt I was bound to attempt it�察�Choice alone should
35

AMOURS DE VOYAGE。
take�察�and choice alone should surrender。 There was a time�察�indeed�察�when I
had not retired thus early�察�Languidly thus�察�from pursuit of a purpose I once
had adopted�察 �But it is all over�察�all that� �I have slunk from the perilous
field in Whose wild struggle of forces the prizes of life are contested。 It
is over�察 �all that� �I am a coward�察 �and know it。 Courage in me could be
only factitious�察�unnatural�察�useless。
Comfort has come to me here in the dreary streets of the city�察�Comfort´
´how do you think��with a barrel´organ to bring it。 Moping along the
streets�察�and cursing my day as I wandered�察�All of a sudden my ear met the
sound of an English psalm´tune�察�Comfort me it did�察�till indeed I was very
near crying。 Ah�察 �there is some great truth�察 �partial�察 �very
likely�察�but needful�察�Lodged�察�I am strangely sure�察�in the tones of the English
psalm´tune。 Comfort it was at least�察 �and I must take without question
Comfort�察�however it come�察�in the dreary streets of the city。
What with trusting myself and seeking support from within me�察�
Almost I could believe I had gained a religious assurance�察�Formed in my
own poor soul a great moral basis to rest on。 Ah�察�but indeed I see�察�I feel it
factitious entirely�察�I refuse�察�reject�察�and put it utterly from me�察�I will look
straight out�察�see things�察�not try to evade them�察 �Fact shall be fact for me�察�
and the Truth the Truth as ever�察 �Flexible�察 �changeable�察 �vague�察 �and
multiform�察�and doubtful。´ Off�察�and depart to the void�察�thou subtle�察�fanatical
tempter� �
I shall behold thee again ��is it so�殖� at a new visitation�察 �O ill genius
thou� �I shall at my life's dissolution ��When the pulses are weak�察 �and
the feeble light of the reason Flickers�察�an unfed flame retiring slow from
the socket���察 �Low on a sick´bed laid�察�hear one�察�as it were�察�at the doorway�察�
And�察 �looking up�察 �see thee standing by�察 �looking emptily at me�察 �I shall
entreat thee then�察�though now I dare to refuse thee�察�Pale and pitiful now�察�
but terrible then to the dying。 Well�察�I will see thee again�察�and while I can�察�
will repel thee。

VI。 Claude to Eustace。
Rome is fallen�察�I hear�察�the gallant Medici taken�察�Noble Manara slain�察�
and Garibaldi has lost il Moro�察 �Rome is fallen�察 �and fallen�察 �or falling�察�
heroical Venice。 I�察�meanwhile�察�for the loss of a single small chit of a girl�察�
sit Moping and mourning here��for her�察 �and myself much smaller。
Whither depart the souls of the brave that die in the battle�察�Die in the lost�察�
lost fight�察�for the cause that perishes with them�拭�Are they upborne from
the field on the slumberous pinions of angels Unto a far´off home�察�where
the weary rest from their labour�察 �And the deep wounds are
healed�察�and the bitter and burning moisture Wiped from the generous eyes�拭�
or do they linger�察�unhappy�察�Pining�察�and haunting the grave of their by´gone
hope and endeavour�拭 �All declamation�察�alas� �though I talk�察�I care not for
Rome nor Italy�察�feebly and faintly�察�and but with the lips�察�can lament the
Wreck of the Lombard youth�察�and the victory of the oppressor。 Whither
depart the brave��God knows�察�I certainly do not。
