Sandro stood alone facing the shining altar, but looking fixedly at Simonetta on her couch. He was white and dry — parched lips and eyes that ached and smarted. Was this the end ? Was it possible, my God ! that the transparent, unearthly thing lying there so prone and pale was dead ? Had such loveliness aught to do with life or death ? Ah ! sweet lady,...

As at the beginning of life in a cold world, passively meeting the long trouble of it, he painted her a rapt Presence floating evenly to our earth. A...
第 38 頁 - ... gets down to things of peace and says: I believe I am equaled by no one in architecture in constructing public and private buildings, and in conducting water from one place to another. I can execute sculpture, whether in marble, bronze or terra cotta, and in drawing and painting I believe I can do as much as any other man, be he who he may.
