Excerpt from Old Rome and New Italy (Recuerdos De Italia) In her history there is an order which is not a natural or der, but a human order, like the transition from the ancient world to the modern world - like the passing from the Middle Age to the Renaissance. By those buildings so famed for beauty, those statues so serene and lovely, have passed all the tempests of the human spirit. Knowledge has bpened their wounds; and on seeing them, one feels in heart and brain the immense effort it has cost ages to create the modern spirit in which we breathe and live. For this reason a journey to Italy is a journey through all periods of history. And this is why an essay upon Italy, rather than a description, should be, in my judgment, a revival. I have intended to keep al ways in mind that above these great works of art, of archaol ogy, history is visible. I am happy, quite happy, if I have succeeded in imparting to my readers the thoughts that, so to speak, are exhaled from the artistic works and the historical recollections of immortal Italy.

Excerpt from Immortal Italy In this modern world of heightened fanaticism, sincerity is particularly unwelcome. For in all human affairs sincerity discovers imperfection and applies criticism. To many Italians my criticism of modern Italy may seem unwarrantedly severe. I can only answer that had I been writing of other countries, and among them my own, my criticism, though applied elsewhere in the national life, would not have been less severe. And criticism after all, if it be founded, is only a form of diagnosis, and an essential prelude to rational cure. To be successful diagnosis must be made with affection. Despite - rather because - of my criticism, I am fond of Italy and the Italians. It is my desire and privilege here to thank all those persons without whom this volume could never have been written; and chiefly Victor F. Lawson, editor and publisher of the Chicago Daily News, in whose service most of the matter contained here was gathered; Thomas Nelson Page, former American Ambassador at Rome, who stood by me when I needed support; Ilda Roero di Cortanze, who first introduced me to her countrymen; Giuseppe Prezzolini, shrewdest of critics, and Maffio Maffii, most indulgent of friends.

Excerpt from The Immortals: Masterpieces of Fiction Crowned by the French Academy; With a Preface to Each Volume, by an Immortal and a General Introduction Conveying Official Sanction The editor-in-chief of the Maison Mazarin - a man of letters who cherishes an enthusiastic yet discriminating love for the literary and artistic glories of France - formed within the last two years the great - project of collecting and presenting to the vast numbers of intelligent readers of whom the New World boasts a series of those great and undying romances which, since 1784, have received the crown of merit awarded by the French Academy - that coveted assurance of immortality in letters and in art. In the presentation of this serious enterprise for the criticism and official sanction of The Academy, en seance, was included a request that, if possible, the task of writing a preface to the series should be undertaken by me. Official sanction having been bestowed upon the plan, I, as the accredited officer of the French Academy, convey to you its hearty appreciation, endorsement, and sympathy with a project so nobly artistic. It is also my duty, privilege, and pleasure to point out, at the request of my brethren, the peculiar importance and lasting value of this series to all who would know the inner life of a people whose greatness no turns of fortune have been able to diminish.

Excerpt from The New Life This Edition of the Vita Nuova has been prepared with the sole purpose of helping those students who wish to read the work in the Italian original, as written by Dante. It does not claim to supersede either Sir Theodore Martin's scholarly and learned translation, or the poetical and free version of D. G. Rossetti. It is a practical invitation to English students of Dante to read his works in Italian, the only way now left open to them of becoming acquainted with Dante's genius and ideas.

Excerpt from The Virgins of the Rocks: Translated From the Italian of Gabriele D'annunzio With these mortal eyes I beheld within a brief space of time three peerless souls unfold and blossom, and then wither away and perish one by one: the most beautiful, most passionate, and most miserable souls ever embodied in the latest descendants of a haughty race. From the scenes where their desolation, their pride, and their grace wandered every day, clear and terrible thoughts came to me, such as the most ancient ruins of illustrious cities had never suggested. In hopes of unravelling the mystery of their strange ascendency, I used to explore the depths of the vast ancestral mirrors, where, often unnoticed by themselves, their three figures were reflected bathed in a pallor like that which heralds dissolution after death; and I gazed long and earnestly at the old, worn-out things which they touched with their chilled or fevered hands, using the same gestures perhaps as had been used by other hands long since crumbled into dust.
