AMOURS DE VOYAGE。
Now supposing the French or the Neapolitan soldier Should by some
evil chance come exploring the Maison Serny ��Where the family English
are all to assemble for safety���察�Am I prepared to lay down my life for the
British female�拭�Really�察�who knows�拭 �One has bowed and talked�察�till�察�little
by little�察�All the natural heat has escaped of the chivalrous spirit。 Oh�察�one
conformed�察�of course�察�but one doesn't die for good manners�察�Stab or shoot�察�
or be shot�察�by way of graceful attention。 No�察�if it should be at all�察�it should
be on the barricades there�察 �Should I incarnadine ever this inky pacifical
finger�察�Sooner far should it be for this vapour of Italy's freedom�察�Sooner
far by the side of the dd and dirty plebeians。 Ah�察�for a child in the street
I could strike�察�for the full´blown lady Somehow�察�Eustace�察�alas� �I have
not felt the vocation。 Yet these people of course will expect�察�as of course�察�
my protection�察�Vernon in radiant arms stand forth for the lovely Georgina�察�
And to appear�察�I suppose�察�were but common civility。 Yes�察�and Truly I do
not desire they should either be killed or offended。 Oh�察�and of course�察�you
will say�察�'When the time comes�察�you will be ready。' Ah�察�but before it comes�察�
am I to presume it will be so�拭�What I cannot feel now�察�am I to suppose that
I shall feel�拭�Am I not free to attend for the ripe and indubious instinct�拭�Am
I forbidden to wait for the clear and lawful perception�拭�Is it the calling of
man to surrender his knowledge and insight�察�For the mere venture of what
may�察 �perhaps�察 �be the virtuous action�拭 �Must we�察 �walking our earth�察�
discerning a little�察 �and hoping Some plain visible task shall yet for our
hands be assigned us�察�Must we abandon the future for fear of omitting
the present�察�Quit our own fireside hopes at the alien call of a neighbour�察�To
the mere possible shadow of Deity offer the victim�拭�And is all this�察 �my
friend�察�but a weak and ignoble refining�察�Wholly unworthy the head or the
heart of Your Own Correspondent�拭�
V。 Claude to Eustace。
Yes�察 �we are fighting at last�察 �it appears。 This morning as usual�察�
Murray�察�as usual�察�in hand�察�I enter the Caffe Nuovo�察�Seating myself with a
sense as it were of a change in the weather�察�Not understanding�察�however�察�
but thinking mostly of Murray�察 �And�察 �for to´day is their day�察 �of the
Campidoglio Marbles�察�Caffe´latte� �I call to the waiter��and Non c'e latte�察�

This is the answer he makes me�察�and this is the sign of a battle。 So I sit�此�
and truly they seem to think any one else more Worthy than me of
attention。 I wait for my milkless nero�察 �Free to observe undistracted all
sorts and sizes of persons�察 �Blending civilian and soldier in strangest
costume�察 �coming in�察 �and Gulping in hottest haste�察 �still standing�察 �their
coffee��withdrawing Eagerly�察�jangling a sword on the steps�察�or jogging a
musket Slung to the shoulder behind。 They are fewer�察 �moreover�察 �than
usual�察�Much and silenter far�察�and so I begin to imagine Something is really
afloat。 Ere I leave�察�the Caffe is empty�察 �Empty too the streets�察�in all its
length the Corso Empty�察�and empty I see to my right and left the Condotti。
Twelve o'clock�察 �on the Pincian Hill�察 �with lots of English�察 �Germans�察�
Americans�察�French��the Frenchmen�察�too�察�are protected�察�So we stand in
the sun�察�but afraid of a probable shower�察�So we stand and stare�察�and see�察�to
the left of St。 Peter's�察 �Smoke�察 �from the cannon�察 �white��but that is at
intervals only�察 �Black�察 �from a burning house�察 �we suppose�察 �by the
Cavalleggieri�察�And we believe we discern some lines of men descending
Down through the vineyard´slopes�察�and catch a bayonet gleaming。 Every
ten minutes�察�however��in this there is no misconception�察�Comes a great
white puff from behind Michel Angelo's dome�察 �and After a space the
report of a real big gun��not the Frenchman's� �That must be doing some
work。 And so we watch and conjecture。 Shortly�察 �an Englishman
comes�察�who says he has been to St。 Peter's�察�Seen the Piazza and troops�察�but
that is all he can tell us�察�So we watch and sit�察�and�察�indeed�察�it begins to be
tiresome。 All this smoke is outside�察�when it has come to the inside�察�It will
be time�察�perhaps�察�to descend and retreat to our houses。 Half´past one�察�or
two。 The report of small arms frequent�察�Sharp and savage indeed�察�that
cannot all be for nothing�此 �So we watch and wonder�察 �but guessing is
tiresome�察 �very。 Weary of wondering�察 �watching�察 �and guessing�察 �and
gossiping idly�察 �Down I go�察 �and pass through the quiet streets with the
knots of National Guards patrolling�察�and flags hanging out at the windows�察�
English�察 �American�察 �Danish��and�察 �after offering to help an Irish family
moving en masse to the Maison Serny�察�After endeavouring idly to minister
balm to the trembling Quinquagenarian fears of two lone British spinsters�察�

Go to make sure of my dinner before the enemy enter。 But by this there are
signs of stragglers returning�察�and voices Talk�察�though you don't believe it�察�
of guns and prisoners taken�察�And on the walls you read the first bulletin of
the morning。 This is all that I saw�察�and all that I know of the battle。
VI。 Claude to Eustace。
Victory� �Victory��Yes� �ah�察 �yes�察 �thou republican Zion�察 �Truly the
kings of the earth are gathered and gone by together�察 �Doubtless they
marvelled to witness such things�察�were astonished�察�and so forth。 Victory� �
Victory� �Victory��Ah�察�but it is�察�believe me�察�Easier�察�easier far�察�to intone
the chant of the martyr Than to indite any paean of any victory。 Death
may Sometimes be noble�察 �but life�察 �at the best�察 �will appear an illusion。
While the great pain is upon us�察�it is great�察�when it is over�察�Why�察�it is over。
The smoke of the sacrifice rises to heaven�察�Of a sweet savour�察�no doubt�察�to
Somebody�察�but on the altar�察�Lo�察�there is nothing remaining but ashes and
dirt and ill odour。 So it stands�察 �you perceive�察 �the labial muscles that
swelled with Vehement evolution of yesterday Marseillaises�察�Articulations
sublime of defiance and scorning�察 �to´day col´ Lapse and languidly
mumble�察�while men and women and papers Scream and re´scream to each
other the chorus of Victory。 Well�察�but I am thankful they fought�察�and glad
that the Frenchmen were beaten。
VII。 Claude to Eustace。
So�察�I have seen a man killed� �An experience that�察�among others� �Yes�察�
I suppose I have�察�although I can hardly be certain�察�And in a court of justice
could never declare I had seen it。 But a man was killed�察 �I am told�察�in a
place where I saw Something�察 �a man was killed�察 �I am told�察 �and I saw
something。 I was returning home from St。 Peter's�察 �Murray�察 �as usual�察�
Under my arm�察 �I remember�察 �had crossed the St。 Angelo bridge�察 �and
Moving towards the Condotti�察 �had got to the first barricade�察 �when
Gradually�察�thinking still of St。 Peter's�察�I became conscious Of a sensation
of movement opposing me��tendency this way ��Such as one fancies may
be in a stream when the wave of the tide is Coming and not yet come��a
sort of noise and retention���察�So I turned�察�and�察�before I turned�察�caught sight
of stragglers Heading a crowd�察�it is plain�察�that is coming behind that corner。

Looking up�察�I see windows filled with heads�察�the Piazza�察�Into which you
remember the Ponte St。 Angelo enters�察�Since I passed�察�has thickened with
curious groups�察�and now the
