Pàgina 169 - A small sitting-room, a sleeping-cell, a chapel completely fitted up, in case of illness, and a wood and lumber room, compose the cottage. This is approached by a garden, which the occupant tills, but only. for flowers, assisted by his own fountain abundantly supplied. While singing None in choir, the day's only meal is deposited in a little locker within the door of the cell, for each one's solitary refection. On a few great festivals they dine together; but not even the Pope, at his frequent visits,...
Pàgina 408 - Where,' asked Redschid Pasha, on his visit to the Pantheon, 'are the statues of the heathen gods ? ' 'Of course they were removed when the temple was Christianized,' was the natural answer.
Pàgina 196 - Palace stretches out, the length of a whole street, an immense wing, divided in its two upper floors into a great number of small but complete suites of apartments, occupied permanently, or occasionally, by persons attached to the Court. During conclave these are allotted, literally so, to the cardinals, each of whom lives apart wilh his own attendants. His food is brought daily from his own house, and is overhauled, and delivered to him in the shape of
Pàgina 301 - With his head hung down, his hands clasped before him, or gently moving in one another, in answer to a question he poured out a stream of thought flowing spontaneous and unrippled as a stream through a summer meadow. He at once seized the whole subject, divided it into its heads as symmetrically as Flechier or Massillon, then took them one by one, enucleated each, and drew his conclusions. All this went on in a monotonous but soft tone, and was so unbroken, so unhesitating, and yet so polished and...
Pàgina 21 - ... of evil days in his native land. Around lay scattered memorials of the past. One splendid monument, erected to Sir Thomas Dereham at the bottom of the church, was entirely walled up and roofed over, and so invisible. But shattered and defaced lay the richly effigied tombs of an Archbishop of York, and a Prior of Worcester, and of many other English worthies ; while sadder wreckage of the recent storm was piled on one side, — the skulls and bones of, perhaps, Cardinal Allen, F. Persons, and...
Pàgina 28 - ... furnished with the greatest simplicity. The last of these was the antechamber to the room occupied by the Pope. After a short delay we were summoned to enter this — a room so small that it scarcely allowed space for the usual genuflections at the door and in the middle of the apartment. But instead of receiving us...
Pàgina 182 - Not a word was said to the dying Pius VII. of the destruction of S. Paul's. For at St. Paul's he had lived as a quiet monk, engaged in study and in teaching, and he loved the place with the force of an early attachment. It would have added a mental pang to his bodily sufferings to learn the total destruction of that venerable sanctuary, in which he had drawn down by prayer the blessings of heaven on his youthful labor.
Pàgina 370 - Pius commenced in the middle of December, with the observance of all usual forms. At one time it seemed likely to close by the election of Cardinal Giustiniani; when the Court of Spain interposed and prevented it. Allusion has been made to the existence of this privilege, vested more by usage, than by any formal act of recognition, at least in three great Catholic Powers.
Pàgina 350 - After audience of the Pope, the Vice Rector of the College (now Archbishop of Trebizonde) and myself visited the Secretary of State and received from him -warm expressions of congratulation. We then proceeded to make preparations for our festival on the usual Roman plan. The front of our house was covered with an elegant architectural design in variegated lamps, and an orchestra was erected opposite for festive music. In the morning of the appointed day, a Te Deum, attended by the various British...
Pàgina 377 - February 2d, 1831, an end was put to the conclave by his election to the Supreme Pontificate, by the name of Gregory. The ceremony of his coronation, which took place on the 6th, was enhanced by his consecration as Bishop, at the High Altar of St. Peter's. This function served clearly to exhibit the concurrence in his person of two different orders of ecclesiastical power. From the moment of his...
