35．The Beauty Of Pisa In The Afternoon
On each side of a bright river he saw rise a line of brighter palaces,arched and pillared, and inlaid with deep red porphyry, and withserpentine(2); along the quays 1 before their gates were riding troops ofknights, noble in face and form, dazzling in crest 2 and shield; horse andman one labyrinth 3 of quaint 4 colour and gleaming light(3)--the purple, andsilver, and scarlet fringes flowing over the strong limbs and clashingmail, like sea-waves over rocks at sunset. Opening on each side from theriver were gardens, courts, and cloisters; long successions of whitepillars among wreaths of vine; leaping of fountains through buds ofpomegranate and orange; and still along the garden-paths, and under andthrough the crimson 5 of the pomegranate shadows, moving slowly, groups ofthe fairest women that Italy ever saw fairest, because purest andthoughtfulest; trained in all high knowledge, as in all courteous 6 art--indance, in song, in sweet wit, in lofty learning, in loftier courage,-illloftiest love- able alike to cheer, to enchant, or save, the souls ofmen(4). Above all this scenery of perfect human life, rose dome andbell-tower, burning with white alabaster and gold: beyond dome andbell-tower the slopes of mighty 7 hills, hoary 8 with olive; far in the north,above a purple sea of peaks of solemn Apennine(5), the clear, sharp- clovenCarrara mountains(6) sent up their steadfast 9 flames of marble summit intoamber sky; the great sea itself, scorching with expanse of light,stretching from their feet to the Gorgonian isles(7); and over all these,ever present, near or far--seen through the leaves of vine, or imaged withall its march of clouds in the Arno's stream,(8) or set with its depthof blue close against the golden hair and burning cheek of lady andknight,-- that untroubled and sacred sky, which was to all men, in thosedays of innocent faith, indeed the unquestioned abode 10 of spirits, as theearth was of men; and which opened straight through its gates of cloudand veils of dew into the awfulness of the eternal world; a heaven in whichevery cloud that passed was literally 11 the chariot of an angel and everyray of its Evening and Morning streamed from the throne of God.(9)
