Chapter 4: Rome. Dante and Papal government. taking the veil in high life. Kestner and Goethe. Crollis this morning, and a long talk with him about Dante, and other matters interesting to me. He is one of tor four persons at his house, to study and interpret Dante, and that they made a good deal of progress in it. T, the Neapolitan Minister, who is a great admirer of Dante, A month before this Mr. Ticknor wrote: I discovered that Count Ludolf is a great student of Dante, and I gave nearly all the time I was there [at a ball at Prih model in clay of a statue of Conradin—mentioned by Dante—which he is making for the Crown Prince of Bavaria, rch in Naples, that his grave is rarely noticed; but Dante's verse and Thorwaldsen's statue will prevent him frs of Petrarca and Tasso; the beautiful manuscript of Dante, copied by Boccaccio, and sent as a present to Petrarca; the manuscript of Dante, which claims to have belonged to his son, and the exquisite one which is ornament

, and holds it to be a duty higher and more honorable. He liked his place as Minister at Florence very much, and he likes his occupations as Deputy. In the summer, when in the country, he still writes poetry, and has finished this year a poem of some length; but he makes everything of the sort to yield to public affairs. Indeed, he says he regards poetry as the occupation of youth and of old age, each of which has its appropriate tone and vein; while middle age should be given, as Milton, Dante, and Petrarca gave it, to the business of the country and to patriotism. There was, perhaps, a little affectation in this, but not much. His character seems frank, if not entirely natural. In speaking on politics, he said that he was the first person who urged Thiers to adopt the system of Spanish intervention, and that it was long before he could persuade him to it; but that he little imagined Thiers would be so absurd as to make it a cabinet question, when it was one which would need mu

North were strengthened, and its power to maintain the cause of the Union increased. To Prince John, of Saxony. Boston, U. S. A., March 15, 1842. my Lord,—I received duly your very kind letter, and the beautiful copy of the translation of Dante's Purgatorio that accompanied it. For both, I pray you to accept my best thanks. As in the case of the Inferno, I find the translation conscientiously accurate; but the notes are quite different from those you gave before, the Inferno requiring Landino, and so on, down to the last of the annotators, no one has made the metaphysical difficulties of the Purgatorio so intelligible. I trust you are employed on the Paradiso, and that I shall soon enjoy the results at which you will arrive. Dante is a mare magnum for adventure, and every time I read him I make, or think I make, new discoveries. I take the liberty to send you, with this, Stephens's work on the aboriginal antiquities found in the woods of Central America. You will find

, in the affairs of a free country. I hope, too, that you, though bound to the state by the most onerous duties, are still able to rescue leisure for your favorite pursuits. We look impatiently for the last and crowning volume of your labors on Dante. When shall we have it? . . . . I remain your Highness's affectionate and faithful friend, George Ticknor. To Charles S. Daveis, Portland. Boston, December 9, 1847. my dear Charles,—. . . . You had, I dare say, a pleasant Thanksgivingy one must endeavor to hold his post as long as he can, and perhaps the storm may pass away, and the stream return to regular channels,—not the old, that seems impossible, and must not be attempted. Nevertheless, I have not forgotten my friend Dante. The Paradiso is finished, and I am only occupied with the last correction, and filling some blanks which I have left in the past labors. I am, with the highest esteem and sincerest friendship, Your affectionate John, Duke of Saxony.

It was a piratical affair altogether. The persons engaged in it were chiefly foreigners, and the money to carry it on came from Cuba. The death of Sir Robert Peel will be felt in the affairs of Europe; in England his great administrative talents will be excessively missed . . . . I have finished your Paradiso, and have been more and more struck, as I went on, with the extraordinary mediaeval learning with which it abounds. No man hereafter, I think, can be accounted a thorough scholar in Dante who has not studied it. I give you anew my thanks for it. I hope you will soon permit me to hear again from you on the subject of European affairs. At this distance things look more quiet only; hardly more hopeful. But I trust we are mistaken. I remain always very faithfully, my dear Prince, Your friend and servant, George Ticknor. To the Hon. Edward Everett. Manchester [Massachusetts], July 31, 1850. my dear Everett,—I have just read your oration of the 17th of June. I mad

er, philosophy and faith, that he did twenty years ago, and with the same vast knowledge of facts and details, which yet never overlay or embarrass his wisdom. There are certainly few men like him. But the old, rich, powerful family, recorded by Dante,—and great before Dante's time, as well as ever since,—disappears with him, and all his vast fortune passes to another name. . . . . And yet he bates no jot of heart or hope, and talks about the great interests of the world, and the state and Dante's time, as well as ever since,—disappears with him, and all his vast fortune passes to another name. . . . . And yet he bates no jot of heart or hope, and talks about the great interests of the world, and the state and prospects of Italy, as if they were his personal affairs, and as if his happiness, and that of his great race, were connected with them as they used to be. Of course he has no political influence, and desires none. In the troubles of 1848-49, when, not quite blind, he was for some months at the head of affairs, he did good service to the state by counsels of moderation; and now, when everything is changed, he preserves not only the respect of Tuscany, but of enlightened Italians everywhere; an<

dered the whole poem absolutely line for line, making each line express exactly what belongs to the corresponding line in the original;—not a particle more, not a particle less. In this he has been more severe with himself than any translator of Dante known to me,—more, even, than your Majesty has been. . . . . Among my pleasures in reading your Majesty's translation of the Divina Commedia, in the beautiful copy of the new edition you sent me last winter, and now again in reading a copy whink there are notices of them in the Life of Forster, 1846, where I am kindly remembered as meeting him at the Prince's, which I never did except on these occasions. Forster was an excellent Italian scholar, and translated, as early as 1807, from Dante. So was Carus, who made a plan of the Divina Commedia, of which he gave me a copy still to be found in my large paper Landino. Tieck was not so exact in his Italian as they were, but was more genial and agreeable. Forster says of Mr. Ticknor
