Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Child of Urbino and Moufflou It was in the year of grace 1940, in the reign of Guidobaldo, Lord of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, - the year, by the way, of the birth of that most illustrious and gracious lady Vittoria Colonna. It was in the spring of the year, in that mountaineyrie beloved of the Muses and coveted of the Borgia, that a little boy stood looking out of a grated casement into the calin sunshiny day. He was a pretty boy, with hazel eyes, and fair hair cut straight above his brows; he wore a little blue tunic with some embroidery about the throat of it, and had in his hand a little round flat cap of the same colour. He was sad of heart this merry morning, for a dear friend of his, a friend ten years older than himself, had gone the night before on a journey over the mountains to Maestro Francesco at Bologna, there to be bound apprentice to that gentle artist. This friend, Timoteo della Vita, had been very dear to the child, had played with him and jested with him, made him toys and told him stories, and he was very full of pain at Timoteo´s loss.
