Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flora, Vol. 1: The Roman Martyr Flora, the Roman Martyr, is a book without any literary pretensions. It was written during a visit to the Eternal City many years ago, with a view of recording, in their first freshness, the impressions of devotion gathered at many a Roman shrine, and several pages were hastily penned, amidst the bustle of sightseeing, when the connecting thread of the plot often became tangled, sometimes broken. Indulgence must be asked for on account of certain anachronisms, some slight liberties having been taken with one or two dates; also, on account of the length of the descriptions, when the enthusiasm called up by the classical reminiscences of the Italian land caused the writer to dwell too long on some favourite scene. It is difficult to correct a work after the lapse of years. Rugged and misshapen though a tree may be, it is best to leave it to bear what fruit it can. Flora, the heroine, is an ideal character, this much alone being true, that a Saint of that name suffered martyrdom under the Emperor Gallienus, and is buried in the Church of St. Maitina, but her connection with St. Lawrence is quite imaginary.
