Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works and Life of Walter Savage Landor, Vol. 6 At Albaro near Genoa I rented the Palace of Marchese Pallavicini. While he was presenting the compliments on my arrival, the wife of his bailiff brought me fish and fowl from the city, and poured upon the table a basketful of fruit. Landor. The walk has tired you, my good woman. The hill indeed is rather steep, but it is short, and you appear, like the generality of Genoese countrywomen, strongly built. Pallavicini. She has been frightened. When the Neapolitans and English landed here in the Bay, she was in childbed. Landor. Poor woman! the alarm must have been great indeed, before you knew that the general was an Englishman. Ah sir! was all she replied. Signor Marchese, do inform me what she means. Pallavicini. It is better to forget if we can the calamities of war, which usually are the heaviest in the most beautiful countries. Landor. Indulge me however in my request. Curiosity is pardonable in a stranger, and, led by humanity, is admissible to confidence. Pallavicini. You had begun, sir, to say something which interested me, in reply to my inquiry how you liked our scenery. I shall derive much more satisfaction from your remarks on our architecture and gardens, than you can derive from my recital of an inhumanity. It is fair and reasonable, and in the course of things, that we should first arrive at that which may afford us pleasure, and not flag toward it wearied and saddened, and incapable of its enjoyment.
