| Godwin, Catherine Grace (Garnett). The Night Before the Bridal, Sappho, and Other Poems. 1824. | Poetry | “The sun had been some time apparently enlarging the circumference of his orb; his brilliant disk had gradually received its evening tinge of red, and now his last ray darted upwards from the refulgent bosom of the ocean, streaking with gold the expanded edge that veiled his face. It was the signal for the Oraciones, or evening prayer, which being repeated by the tolling of the bell of every church, the whole city (Cadiz), the whole kingdom, addressed a prayer and a thanksgiving to the Almighty Being who had brought the day to a close. The crowd upon the Almeda, whose busy hum and footsteps mingled their bruit upon the ear like the fall of waters, where the course of a gentle streamlet is broken by some impeding rock, now stood still, and there prevailed, as if by magic, a sudden, profound, and awful silence. At the sound of the bell the carriages stopped, all who were sitting arose, those who were walking remained in the position in which this moment overtook them; all conversation was suspended, and every one repeated an inward prayer. The sign of the cross, which closed the prayer of each, was the signal for the breaking of this holy silence; every one gave a salutation to those who surrounded him, known or unknown, and then the stream flowed on unaltered in its course.” | quote | Dallas, Alexander Robert Charles.

The Night Before the Bridal, Sappho, and Other Poems. 1824. | Poetry | “While Julian struggled with the almost insuperable difficulties of his situation, the silent hours of the night were still devoted to study and contemplation. Whenever he closed his eyes in short and interrupted slumbers, his mind was agitated with painful anxiety, nor can it be thought surprising, that the Genius of the empire should once more appear before him covering the horn of abundance with a funeral veil, and slowly retiring from the imperial tent. The monarch started from his couch, and, stepping forth to refresh his weary spirits with the coolness of the midnight air, he beheld a fiery meteor which shot athwart the sky, and suddenly vanished. Julian was convinced that he had seen the menacing countenance of the god of war. Julian had sworn in a passion, ‘nunquam se Marti sacra factum’.” | quote | Gibbon, Edward.

| Godwin, Catherine Grace (Garnett). The Night Before the Bridal, Sappho, and Other Poems. 1824. | Poetry | “One day, when his spirits were unusually oppressed, a stranger of a tall dignified appearance was introduced. His manners were grave and impressive. He told Mozart that he came from a person who did not wish to be known, to request he would compose a solemn mass, as a requiem for the soul of a friend he had recently lost, and whose death he was desirous of commemorating by this solemn service. Mozart undertook the task, and engaged to have it completed in a month. The stranger begged to know what price he set upon his work, and immediately paid him a hundred ducats, and departed. The mystery of this visit seemed to have a very strong effect on the mind of the musician. He brooded over it for some time, and then, suddenly calling for writing materials, began to compose with extraordinary ardour. This application, however, was more than his strength would support; it brought on fainting fits, and his increasing illness obliged him to suspend the work. ‘I am writing this requiem for myself,’ said he abruptly to his wife; ‘one day it will serve for my own funeral.’ And this impression never after left him. At the expiration of the month the mysterious stranger appeared, and demanded the requiem. ‘I have found it impossible,’ said Mozart, ‘to keep my word; the work had interested me more than I expected, and I have extended it beyond my first design: I shall require another month to finish it.’ The stranger made no objection, but observed, that for this additional trouble it was but just to increase the premium, and laid down fifty ducats more; and promised to return at the appointed time. Astonished at his whole proceeding, Mozart ordered a servant to follow this singular personage, and, if possible, to find out who he was. The man, however, soon lost sight of him, and was obliged to return as he went. Mozart was now more than ever persuaded that he was a messenger from the other world to warn him that his end was approaching. He applied with fresh zeal to the requiem (his celebrated mass in D minor), and in spite of the exhausted state of both mind and body, completed it before the end of the month. At the appointed time the stranger returned, but Mozart was no more!” | quote | Seward, John. The Spirit of Anecdote and Wit. 1823. | Miscellany |
