It is the Venice of Italy. All that is beautiful in the eyes of the painter is still there ; all that is dear to the poet is to be remembered of her. But the glory which streams along the heights of blue Friuli's mountains is no longer a dying glory, but a living. For the sons of Italy are once more united and strong. How then can it be otherwise with her daughters than that they shall be happy and safe ? 139 RAPHAEL LA MADRE. But the child? Why must you paint the child? It is my portrait only ...that my husband desires. RAPHAEL / must paint the child because of the Angel. PLATE XXV.
