Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Mrs. Siddons: Interspersed With Anecdotes of Authors and Actors The elegant author of the Memoir on Italian Tragedy has mentioned, to the honour of the City of Verona, that it celebrated the various merits of Maffei during the lifetime of that great poet. On his return to his native city after a short absence, that nobleman found his bust placed over the principal entrance of the Philharmonic Academy, with the following inscription on the pedestal: - Marchioni Scipioni Maffei Viventi, Academia Philharmonica Decreto Et Ære Publico Anno MDCCXXVII. Although nothing could surpass the amiable virtues of his private character, this tribute of a poetical society was doubtless paid to him who sustained the tragic fame of his country. It is on the same ground that I pay the present tribute to Mrs. Siddons. But there was an additional motive that weighed with me in the latter case - That the actor can expect but little from the honours of time.
