MICHAEL ANNrElO'
In this connection / wish to say one word
about Michael Angelo Buonarotti. l used
10 worship the mighty genius of Michael
Angelo-that man who was great in poetry,
painting, sculpture, architecture-great in
everything he undertook. But ] do not
want Michael Angelo for breahast-for
luncheon-for dinner-for tea-for sup
per-for between meals. l like change
occasionally In Genoa, he designed every
thing in Milan, he or his pupils designed
everything; he designed the Lake of Como;
in Padua, Verona, Venice, Bologna, who
did we ever hear of, from guides, but
Michael Angelo? In Florence he painted
everything, designed everything, nearly
and what he did not design he used to sit
on favorite stone and look at it, and they
showed us the stone. In Pisa he designed
everything but the old shot-tower, and they
would have attributed that to him if it had
not been SO awfully out of the perpendicular.
He designed the piers of Leghorn and the
custom house regulations of Civita Vecchia.
But here-here it is frightful. He designed
St. Peters; he designed the Pope; he designed
the Pantheon, the uniform of the Pope's sol
diers, the Tiber, the Vatican, the Coliseum,
the Capitol, the Tarpeian Rock the Barberini
Palace st. John Lateran, the Campagna, the
Appian Way, the Seven Hills, the Baths of
Caracalla, the Claudian Aqueduct, the Cloaca
Maxima-the eternal bore designed the Eter-
nal City, and unless all men and books do lie,
he painted everything in it.
never felt so sofervently thankful, so sOothed.
so tranquil, so filled with a blessed peace, as
L did yesterday when | learned that Michael
Angelo was dead.
