To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An old man, black as possible, in a clerical dress, was just getting into a carriage.
THE CHRISTMAS HOLYDAYS IN ROME. 113 He was assisted by two priests, who with many bows and demonstrations of respect were taking leave of him. I afterwards learned, that he was an Abyssinian priest, who having spent the greater part of his life in missionary labors in his own country, had now returned to die at Rome.
The chanting at the Chapel this evening was with- out any pretensions to the character of fine... music, yet there was something to me very inspiring in the sound. Perhaps it arose in part from the fact, that I knew what they were singing — only the pure words of in- spiration, which two thousand years ago were sung on the mountains and among the valleys of Judea, and had ever since been the sacred hymns of the Christian Church. They were the regular Vesper Psalms for the evening, in the rich and picturesque language of the Vulgate, where the orientalism of Scripture is blended up with such curious felicity with the idiom of the Latin.^ The chanting was antiphonal, the forty students ranged on one side singing the first verse, and immediately those on the other side taking iip the strain and singino; the second.
