Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Diplomatist´s Wife, in Many Lands, Vol. 1 On the closing night of the Nineteenth Century I found myself in the Parish Church of Sant´ Angello di Sorrento, kneeling in the thick crowd that, filling nave and aisle and side chapel, recited the Rosary in unison as the last moments of the hundredth year were knelled away far overhead by the bells in the tower. With the hush that fell just before midnight a sense of all that the expiring century had meant to me and mine swept over me in a reality of triumphant possession mingled with much visible loss. The beloved and the revered, the great minds and the holy souls that I had known, these I would find again; but the ancient beauty, the tender, half whimsical grace of my earthly world was gone forever, together with the quick enthusiasms and responsive sympathies which made the Nineteenth Century a period of renaissance less definite than, but almost as valuable as, either of the two that had preceded it. All that was permanently needed of that period has doubtless survived, for intellect and holiness and experience are immortal; but its settings and surroundings have changed or vanished, some gently withdrawn by the shadowy passing of Time, some crashing into pitiful ruins under the assaults of gross material forces.
