Description:Excerpt from Rome It was on an April evening in my earliest manhood, as I stood on the vast bastion of the Janiculum in the sudden silence of the hour after the sunset - Rome was looking terrible as a crater under the conflagration of the sky - that I seemed to realise for the first time the true aspect of a place so augustly familiar, which, as Dante has perceived, Nature herself has formed for universal dominion - ad universaliter principandum-and out of which has risen all Europe and our Faith, all that is really worth having in the world. It was my last evening in Rome. On the morrow I was to return to the North. All day I had wandered aimlessly about looking for my lost illusions, till, weary at last, I had come towards evening to sit beside the parapet of the Janiculum, turning all things over in my heart as I watched the sun set over the City. How well I remember it! It seems to me that I was but a child then, that I had believed in everything, and was al-altogether discouraged and dismayed, for Rome had been like a stranger to me.
