Pàgina 401 - ... transcripts in the library. Edited or not, it is improbable that the volume has been, or will be, looked into during a generation. But the lens-like eye of a Don Angelo peers into it, and it becomes a treasuretrove. The writer of the Middle Ages had taken down from the shelves a work which he considered of small value — perhaps there were duplicates of it — some letters, for instance, of a heathen Emperor to his tutor, and had scrubbed, as he thought, the parchment clean, both of its inky...
Pàgina 4 - ... 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 284 - ... 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 elegant, that, if you had closed your eyes you might have easily fancied that you were listening to the reading of a finished and elaborately...
Pàgina 12 - ... at the door, and in the middle of the apartment. But instead of receiving us, as was customary, seated, the mild and amiable Pontiff had risen to welcome us, and meet us, as we approached.
Pàgina 5 - ... venerable church, there it was, in the person of the more than octogenarian porter Vincenzo, who stood, all salutation from the wagging appendage to his grey head to the large silver buckles on his shoes, mumbling toothless welcomes in a yet almost unknown tongue, but full of humble joy and almost patriarchal affection, on seeing the haunts of his own youth re-peopled.
Pàgina 2 - ... joys ; — such were the first features of our future abode, as, alone and undirected, we wandered through the solemn building, and made it, after years of silence, re-echo to the sound of English voices, and give back the bounding tread of those who had returned to claim their own.
Pàgina 12 - Dec. 24. Took six of the students to the Pope. The other four could not be clothed. The Holy Father received them standing', shook hands with each, and welcomed them to Rome. He praised the English clergy for their good and peaceful conduct, and their fidelity to the Holy See. He exhorted the youths to learning and piety, and said ; ' I hope you will do honour both to Rome and to your own country,' ' " Such is the writer's first personal recollection of a Pope, and that Pope the illustrious Pius...
Pàgina 237 - The life of the student in Rome should be one of unblended enjoyment. If he loves his work, or, what is the same, if he throws himself conscientiously into it, it is sweetened to him as it can be nowhere else. His very relaxations become at once subsidiary to it, yet most delightfully recreative. His daily walks may be through the field of art, his resting-place in some seat of the muses, his wanderings along the stream of time bordered by precious monuments. He can never be alone ; a thousand memories,...
Pàgina 352 - 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 9 - Although a rector, and one qualified for his office, had been in possession of the house for a year, the arrival of a colony of students was the real opening of the establishment. On the day alluded to, the excellent superior, the Rev. Robert Gradwell, on returning home, found the first instalment of this important body really installed in his house, to the extent of having converted to present use the preparations for his own frugal and solitary meal. "The event was of sufficient magnitude to be...
