— A second visit to the Duomo makes me rank it as the most beautiful, the most appropriate, shrine for Christian worship known to me. . . . Raphael's ' Sposalizio, ' compared with Luini's fresco of the same subject, is tame : Raphael has here many lovely forms, but he is not inspired. It suggests a mariage de convenance. At San Ambrogio is a ' Christ bearing Cross ' by Luini of the highest possible tenderness and dignity. Opposite, a Deposition by Gaudenzio Ferrari — his finest fresco in Milan.... As Tennyson said of Scott's : Maid of Neidpath, ' this was almost more pathetic than a man had the right to be. I never saw grief expressed, so varied, so intense, yet never transcending the beautiful. March 30, Milan. — Had a long talk with Ceriani [the Librarian of the Ambrosian Library] — a most cultivated and pleasing man. He took me into his own room, and we held a colloquy on English and Roman views of cer- tain religious topics which impressed me very favourably as to his disposition.
