Opis

Excerpt from Romola, Vol. 1 of 3 Surely, he thinks, Florence can still ring her bells with the solemn hammer-sound that used to beat on the hearts of her citizens and strike out the fire there. And here, on the right, stands the long dark mass of Santa Croce, where we buried our famous dead, laying the laurel on their cold brows and fanning them with the breath Of praise and of banners. But Santa Croce had no spire then: we Florentines were too full of great building projects to carry them all out in stone and marble we had our frescos and our shrines to pay for, not to speak of rapacious condottieri, bribed royalty, and pur chased territories, and our facades and spires must needs wait. But what architect can the Frati Minori 1 have employed to build that spire for them? If it had been built in my day, Filippo Brunelleschi or Michelozzo would have devised something of another fashion than that, some thing worthy to crown the church of Arnolfo. At this the Spirit, with a sigh, lets his eyes travel on to the city walls, and now he dwells on the change there with wonder at these modern times.
