NATURA BENIGNA.
(From "The Coming of Love.")
What power is this? What witchery wins my feet
To peaks so sheer they scorn the cloaking snow,
All silent as the emerald gulfs below,
Down whose ice-walls the wings of twilight beat?
What thrill of earth and heaven—most wild, most sweet—
What answering pulse that all the senses know
Comes leaping from the ruddy eastern glow
Where, far away, the skies and mountains meet?
Mother, 'tis I reborn: I know thee well:
That throb I know and all it prophesies,
O Mother and Queen, beneath the olden spell
Of silence, gazing from thy hills and skies!
Dumb Mother, struggling with thy years to tell
The secret at thy heart through helpless eyes.
—Theodore Watts-Dunton.

# Canzoniere/Poem V

SONNET Quand' io movo i sospiri a chiamar voi
HE PLAYS UPON THE NAME LAURETA OR LAURA.
 In sighs when I outbreathe your cherish'd name,  That name which love has writ upon my heart,  LAUd instantly upon my doting tongue,  At the first thought of its sweet sound, is heard;  Your REgal state, which I encounter next,  Doubles my valour in that high emprize:  But TAcit ends the word; your praise to tell  Is fitting load for better backs than mine.  Thus all who call you, by the name itself,  Are taught at once to LAUd and to REvere,  O worthy of all reverence and esteem!  Save that perchance Apollo may disdain  That mortal tongue of his immortal boughs  Should ever so presume as e'en to speak.
 ANON.
# Canzoniere/Poem VI

SONNET Si traviato e 'l folle mio desio
OF HIS FOOLISH PASSION FOR LAURA
 So wayward now my will, and so unwise,  To follow her who turns from me in flight,  And, from love's fetters free herself and light,  Before my slow and shackled motion flies,  That less it lists, the more my sighs and cries  Would point where passes the safe path and right,  Nor aught avails to check or to excite,  For Love's own nature curb and spur defies.  Thus, when perforce the bridle he has won,  And helpless at his mercy I remain,  Against my will he speeds me to mine end  'Neath yon cold laurel, whose false boughs upon  Hangs the harsh fruit, which, tasted, spreads the pain  I sought to stay, and mars where it should mend.
 MACGREGOR.
 My tameless will doth recklessly pursue  Her, who, unshackled by love's heavy chain,  Flies swiftly from its chase, whilst I in vain  My fetter'd journey pantingly renew;  The safer track I offer to its view,  But hopeless is my power to restrain,  It rides regardless of the spur or rein;  Love makes it scorn the hand that would subdue.  The triumph won, the bridle all its own,  Without one curb I stand within its power,  And my destruction helplessly presage:  It guides me to that laurel, ever known,  To all who seek the healing of its flower,  To aggravate the wound it should assuage.
 WOLLASTON.
# Canzoniere/Poem VIII

SONNET A pie de' colli ove la bella vesta
HE FEIGNS AN ADDRESS FROM SOME BIRDS WHICH HE HAD PRESENTED.
 Beneath the verdant hills--where the fair vest  Of earthly mould first took the Lady dear,  Who him that sends us, feather'd captives, here  Awakens often from his tearful rest--  Lived we in freedom and in quiet, blest  With everything which life below might cheer,  No foe suspecting, harass'd by no fear  That aught our wanderings ever could molest;  But snatch'd from that serener life, and thrown  To the low wretched state we here endure,  One comfort, short of death, survives alone:  Vengeance upon our captor full and sure!  Who, slave himself at others' power, remains  Pent in worse prison, bound by sterner chains.
 MACGREGOR.
 Beneath those very hills, where beauty threw  Her mantle first o'er that earth-moulded fair,  Who oft from sleep, while shedding many a tear,  Awakens him that sends us unto you,  Our lives in peacefulness and freedom flew,  E'en as all creatures wish who hold life dear;  Nor deem'd we aught could in its course come near,  Whence to our wanderings danger might accrue.  But from the wretched state to which we're brought,  Leaving another with sereneness fraught,  Nay, e'en from death, one comfort we obtain;  That vengeance follows him who sent us here;  Another's utmost thraldom doomed to bear,  Bound he now lies with a still stronger chain.

# Canzoniere/Poem VII

SONNET La gola e 'l sonno e l' oziose piume
TO A FRIEND, ENCOURAGING HIM TO PURSUE POETRY.
 Torn is each virtue from its earthly throne  By sloth, intemperance, and voluptuous ease;  E'en nature deviates from her wonted ways,  Too much the slave of vicious custom grown.  Far hence is every light celestial gone,  That guides mankind through life's perplexing maze;  And those, whom Helicon's sweet waters please,  From mocking crowds receive contempt alone.  Who now would laurel, myrtle-wreaths obtain?  Let want, let shame, Philosophy attend!  Cries the base world, intent on sordid gain.  What though thy favourite path be trod by few;  Let it but urge thee more, dear gentle friend!  Thy great design of glory to pursue.
 ANON.
 Intemperance, slumber, and the slothful down  Have chased each virtue from this world away;  Hence is our nature nearly led astray  From its due course, by habitude o'erthrown;  Those kindly lights of heaven so dim are grown,  Which shed o'er human life instruction's ray;  That him with scornful wonder they survey,  Who would draw forth the stream of Helicon.  "Whom doth the laurel please, or myrtle now?  Naked and poor, Philosophy, art thou!"  The worthless crowd, intent on lucre, cries.  Few on thy chosen road will thee attend;  Yet let it more incite thee, gentle friend,  To prosecute thy high-conceived emprize.

BALLATA
Lassare il velo o per sole o per ombra
PERCEIVING HIS PASSION, LAURA'S SEVERITY INCREASES.
 Never thy veil, in sun or in the shade,  Lady, a moment I have seen  Quitted, since of my heart the queen  Mine eyes confessing thee my heart betray'd  While my enamour'd thoughts I kept conceal'd.  Those fond vain hopes by which I die,  In thy sweet features kindness beam'd:  Changed was the gentle language of thine eye  Soon as my foolish heart itself reveal'd;  And all that mildness which I changeless deem'd--  All, all withdrawn which most my soul esteem'd.  Yet still the veil I must obey,  Which, whatsoe'er the aspect of the day,  Thine eyes' fair radiance hides, my life to overshade.
 CAPEL LOFFT.
 Wherefore, my unkind fair one, say,  Whether the sun fierce darts his ray,  Or whether gloom o'erspreads the sky,  That envious veil is ne'er thrown by;  Though well you read my heart, and knew  How much I long'd your charms to view?  While I conceal'd each tender thought,  That my fond mind's destruction wrought,  Your face with pity sweetly shone;  But, when love made my passion known,  Your sunny locks were seen no more,  Nor smiled your eyes as heretofore;  Behind a jealous cloud retired  Those beauties which I most admired.  And shall a veil thus rule my fate?  O cruel veil, that whether heat  Or cold be felt, art doom'd to prove  Fatal to me, shadowing the lights I love!

SONNET _Quel ch' infinita providenza ed arte._
HE CELEBRATES THE BIRTHPLACE OF LAURA.
 He that with wisdom, goodness, power divine,  Did ample Nature's perfect book design,  Adorn'd this beauteous world, and those above,  Kindled fierce Mars, and soften'd milder Jove:  When seen on earth the shadows to fulfill  Of the less volume which conceal'd his will,  Took John and Peter from their homely care,  And made them pillars of his temple fair.  Nor in imperial Rome would He be born,  Whom servile Judah yet received with scorn:  E'en Bethlehem could her infant King disown,  And the rude manger was his early throne.  Victorious sufferings did his pomp display,  Nor other chariot or triumphal way.  At once by Heaven's example and decree,  Such honour waits on such humility.
 BASIL KENNET.
 The High Eternal, in whose works supreme  The Master's vast creative power hath spoke:  At whose command each circling sphere awoke,  Jove mildly rose, and Mars with fiercer beam:  To earth He came, to ratify the scheme  Reveal'd to us through prophecy's dark cloak,  To sound redemption, speak man's fallen yoke:  He chose the humblest for that heavenly theme.  But He conferr'd not on imperial Rome  His birth's renown; He chose a lowlier sky,--  To stand, through Him, the proudest spot on earth!  And now doth shine within its humble home  A star, that doth each other so outvie,  That grateful nature hails its lovely birth.
 WOLLASTON.
 Who show'd such infinite providence and skill  In his eternal government divine,  Who launch'd the spheres, gave sun and moon to shine,  And brightest wonders the dark void to fill;  On earth who came the Scriptures to maintain,  Which for long years the truth had buried yet,  Took John and Peter from the fisher's net  And gave to each his part in the heavenly reign.  He for his birth fair Rome preferr'd not then,  But lowly Bethlehem; thus o'er proudest state  He ever loves humility to raise.  Now rises from small spot like sun again,  Whom Nature hails, the place grows bright and great  Which birth so heavenly to our earth displays.
 MACGREGOR.
# Canzoniere/Poem IX

SONNET Quando 'l pianeta che distingue l' ore
WITH A PRESENT OF FRUIT IN SPRING.
 When the great planet which directs the hours  To dwell with Taurus from the North is borne,  Such virtue rays from each enkindled horn,  Rare beauty instantly all nature dowers;  Nor this alone, which meets our sight, that flowers  Richly the upland and the vale adorn,  But Earth's cold womb, else lustreless and lorn,  Is quick and warm with vivifying powers,  Till herbs and fruits, like these I send, are rife.  --So she, a sun amid her fellow fair,  Shedding the rays of her bright eyes on me,  Thoughts, acts, and words of love wakes into life--  But, ah! for me is no new Spring, nor e'er,  Smile they on whom she will, again can be.
 MACGREGOR.
 When Taurus in his house doth Phoebus keep,  There pours so bright a virtue from his crest  That Nature wakes, and stands in beauty drest,  The flow'ring meadows start with joy from sleep:  Nor they alone rejoice--earth's bosom deep  (Though not one beam illumes her night of rest)  Responsive smiles, and from her fruitful breast  Gives forth her treasures for her sons to reap.  Thus she, who dwells amid her sex a sun,  Shedding upon my soul her eyes' full light,  Each thought creates, each deed, each word of love:  But though my heart's proud mastery she hath won  Alas! within me dwells eternal night:  My spirit ne'er Spring's genial breath doth prove.
 WOLLASTON.
# Canzoniere/Poem X

SONNET Gloriosa Colonna, in cui s' appoggia
TO STEFANO COLONNA THE ELDER, INVITING HIM TO THE COUNTRY.
 Glorious Colonna! still the strength and stay  Of our best hopes, and the great Latin name  Whom power could never from the true right way  Seduce by flattery or by terror tame:  No palace, theatres, nor arches here,  But, in their stead, the fir, the beech, and pine  On the green sward, with the fair mountain near  Paced to and fro by poet friend of thine;  Thus unto heaven the soul from earth is caught;  While Philomel, who sweetly to the shade  The livelong night her desolate lot complains,  Fills the soft heart with many an amorous thought:  --Ah! why is so rare good imperfect made  While severed from us still my lord remains.
 MACGREGOR.
 Glorious Colonna! thou, the Latins' hope,  The proud supporter of our lofty name,  Thou hold'st thy path of virtue still the same,  Amid the thunderings of Rome's Jove--the Pope.  Not here do human structures interlope  The fir to rival, or the pine-tree's claim,  The soul may revel in poetic flame  Upon yon mountain's green and gentle slope.  And thus from earth to heaven the spirit soars,  Whilst Philomel her tale of woe repeats  Amid the sympathising shades of night,  Thus through man's breast love's current sweetly pours:  Yet still thine absence half the joy defeats,--  Alas! my friend, why dim such radiant light?
 WOLLASTON.
# Canzoniere/Poem XIII

SONNET Quando fra l' altre donne ad ora ad ora
THE BEAUTY OF LAURA LEADS HIM TO THE CONTEMPLATION OF THE SUPREME GOOD.
 Throned on her angel brow, when Love displays  His radiant form among all other fair,  Far as eclipsed their choicest charms appear,  I feel beyond its wont my passion blaze.  And still I bless the day, the hour, the place,  When first so high mine eyes I dared to rear;  And say, "Fond heart, thy gratitude declare,  That then thou had'st the privilege to gaze.  'Twas she inspired the tender thought of love,  Which points to heaven, and teaches to despise  The earthly vanities that others prize:  She gave the soul's light grace, which to the skies  Bids thee straight onward in the right path move;  Whence buoy'd by hope e'en, now I soar to worlds above."
 WRANGHAM.
 When Love, whose proper throne is that sweet face,  At times escorts her 'mid the sisters fair,  As their each beauty is than hers less rare,  So swells in me the fond desire apace.  I bless the hour, the season and the place,  So high and heavenward when my eyes could dare;  And say: "My heart! in grateful memory bear  This lofty honour and surpassing grace:  From her descends the tender truthful thought,  Which follow'd, bliss supreme shall thee repay,  Who spurn'st the vanities that win the crowd:  From her that gentle graceful love is caught,  To heaven which leads thee by the right-hand way,  And crowns e'en here with hopes both pure and proud."
 MACGREGOR.

INTRODUCTION
I
The story of the Edgeworth Family, if it were properly told, should be as long as the Arabian Nights themselves; the thousand and one cheerful intelligent members of the circle, the amusing friends and relations, the charming surroundings, the cheerful hospitable home, all go to make up an almost unique history of a county family of great parts and no little character. The Edgeworths were people of good means and position, and their rental, we are told, amounted to nearly £3000 a year. At one time there was some talk of a peerage for Mr. Edgeworth, but he was considered too independent for a peerage.
The family tradition seems to have been unconventional and spirited always. There are records still extant in the present Mr. Edgeworth's possession,—papers of most wonderful vitality for parchment,—where you may read passionate remonstrances and adjurations from great-grandfathers to great-great-grandfathers, and where great-great-grandmothers rush into the discussion with vehement spelling and remonstrance, and make matters no better by their interference. I never read more passionately eloquent letters and appeals. There are also records of a pleasanter nature; merrymakings, and festive preparations, ​and 12s. 6d. for a pair of silk stockings for Miss Margaret Edgeworth to dance in, carefully entered into the family budget. All the people whose portraits are hanging up, beruffled, dignified, calm, and periwigged, on the old walls of Edgeworthstown certainly had extraordinarily strong impressions, and gave eloquent expression to them. I don't think people could feel quite so strongly now about their own affairs as they did then; there are so many printed emotions, so many public events, that private details cannot seem quite as important. Edgeworths of those days were farther away from the world than they are now, dwelling in the plains of Longford, which as yet were not crossed by iron rails. The family seems to have made little of distances, and to have ridden and posted to and fro from Dublin to Edgeworthstown in storm and sunshine.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Archdiocese of Monreale

From volume 10 of the work.
Monreale, in the province of Palermo, Sicily, on the skirts of Mount Caputo. The city is built in a commanding situation over the port of Palermo. It was a pleasure resort of the Norman kings, to whom it owes its foundation. In 1167 William II built there the church of Santa Maria Nuova, with its adjoining monastery for the Benedictines of Cava dei Tirreni- most superb monastic building of the Benedictine Order in Europe, famous for its cloister and its graceful Moresque colonnade. At the present time only the lower portion of the convent is in the possession of the monks. The church (now the cathedral) is the noblest in Sicily, though the portico of its façade has been restored in a Style not in harmony with the remainder of the building. Its bronze doors, the work of Bonanno of Pisa (1186), are notable, as are also the arabesques of the portals. The interior has three naves, and the columns of Egyptian marble have foiled and figured capitals, each different from the others, The apse and the lateral walls are covered with beautiful mosaics, representing scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The high altar is covered with worked sheets of silver (seventeenth century) and in a chapel to its right, are the tombs of William I the Wicked and of William II. The chapel of Saint Benedict contains sculptures by Marabitti (eighteenth century). In 1811 a fire destroyed the roof, which was restored in a way to leave the rafters exposed to view. On the mountain beyond the city is the monastery of San Martino of the Cassinese Benedictines, whose church is rich in works of art; farther on is the castle of San Benedetto, built by the Saracens. In 1174 the abbey of Monreale was declared a "prælatura nullius"; two years later its abbot was vested with the title and jurisdiction of a bishop, and in 1182 he became the metropolitan of Catania and of Syracuse. At first the archbishops were elected by the monks, but were not always Benedictines; since 1275, however, the election has been reserved to itself by the Holy See. In time Girgenti and Caltagirone also became suffragan to Monreale; but Syracuse, in 1844, and Catania, in 1860, became archiepiscopal sees. The former having become the Metropolitan of Caltagirone, Monreale received the new Diocese of Caltanisetta (1860), which see and Girgenti are now its only suffragans. Among the archbishops of this see have been Cardinal Giovanni Proccamazza (1278); Cardinal Aussio Despuig de Podio (1458); Cardinal Pompeo Colonna (1531); Cardinal Ippolito de' Medici (1532); Alessandro Farnese (1536); Ludovico de Torres (1584), founder of the seminary; Cardinal Vitaliano Visconti (1670); Cardinal Traian d'Acquaviva d'Aragona (1739). From 1775 to 1802 Monreale and Palermo were united. The archdiocese has 30 parishes with 228,600 inhabitants; 352 secular and 66 regular priests; 26 convents of men and one of women; three educational institutes for male students and three for girls.
