And so, --as the crowd of little menpass unheeding and unmoved, those in whom Posterity shall acknowledgethe landmarks of their age, --the horseman turned his glance from thePoet! Thrice blessed name! Immortal Florentine! (I need scarcely say that itis his origin, not his actual birth, which entitles us to term Petrarcha Florentine. ) not as the lover, nor even as the poet, do I bow beforethy consecrated memory--venerating thee as one it were sacrilege tointroduce in this unworthy page--save by... name and as a shadow; but asthe first who ever asserted to people and to prince the august majestyof Letters; who claimed to Genius the prerogative to influence states, to control opinion, to hold an empire over the hearts of men, andprepare events by animating passion, and guiding thought! What, (thoughbut feebly felt and dimly seen)--what do we yet owe to Thee if Knowledgebe now a Power; if MIND be a Prophet and a Fate, foretelling andforedooming the things to come! From the greatest to the least of us, towhom the pen is at once a sceptre and a sword, the low-born Florentinehas been the arch-messenger to smooth the way and prepare the welcome.
