Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Travel Sketches, &C: From the Original With Prefatory Note From the French of Theophile Gautier The last time that I saw Heinrich Heine was a few weeks before his death; I had to write a short notice for the re-issue of his works. He lay on the bed where, according to the doctors, a slight indisposition first held him, but whence he had not been able to rise therefrom for eight years. One was always sure of finding him, as he himself used to say; yet, little by little, solitude encompassed him more and more; hence his exclamation to Berlioz, on the occasion of an unexpected visit: "You come to see me! you are as original as ever!" It was not that he was less loved or less admired, but life entices away with it the most faithful hearts, in spite of themselves: only a mother or a wife would never abandon so persistent a death-agony. Human eyes cannot, without turning aside, contemplate the sight of suffering for too long a time. Goddesses themselves grow weary of it, and the three thousand Oceanides who went to console Prometheus on his Caucasian cross returned therefrom in the evening.

Download or read book Italian Sketches written by Garrett Rittenberg and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garrett Rittenberg set out for Italy to satisfy a long held desire to experience and become intimately acquainted with the country, its culture and its people. By diligently keeping this diary he fulfilled an ambition to write about the country using Italy as a kind of paintbrush and canvas to describe the daily scenes he encountered. He believes that almost everything about Italy is worth mentioning, and his unique observations and rich descriptions of daily life, masterful works of art, architecture, landscapes, and Italians themselves provide a unique view into the life of the country. He deals with sudden bouts of loneliness, struggles with the difficulties and peculiarities of traveling in some parts of the country, yet is more often ecstatic from coming into contact with so many beautiful churches, works of art, graceful people, and delicious food. At the end of the journey, his opinion of Italy is only heightened, and he feels nostalgic before the journey is over.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vignettes of Travel: Some Comparative Sketches in England and Italy The Entrance-Porch to England - An Initial Walk - The Old Home - Vitiation of the Language - The Soldier and the Beggar - Coming Differentiation of the English and American Language - The Vignette Cathedral Scene of England. Chester is the vignette scene of England, and a very charming one. Within fifteen miles of Liverpool, and trains running out almost hourly, the experienced traveller can, and the judicious one will, avoid that monotonous town consecrated to trade and lucre, and spend his first night in England in a little country village representative and typical of the most English of English scenery. Indeed, if circumstances permit, I would advise that the visitor walk from Liverpool to Chester. It is a short distance, over excellent roads, and the walk will give one at once an idea of English landscape which it would take weeks of railway travel to acquire. The walk will be made along green lanes and by hedges and under avenues of great trees which form a picture not to be forgotten, and answering completely to what is, perhaps, the conventional conception of any well-read person of rural England. To an educated American, indeed, all England is so familiar by pictures, literature, and legend that, entering it for the first time, he feels as if he were coming home again instead of visiting a strange land, - as if he had been there before in a half-remembered childhood or in a dream, and were part of it.
