A Roman Pilgrimage (Classic Reprint)

Richard Ellis Roberts

4.9/5 (20062 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Roman Pilgrimage Well, I will have none of that. That is not, to my mind, a true picture of the city of Caesar and Peter, of Brutus and Borgia: so calm and inhuman a mistress would never have won the allegiance of so many periods and religions and temperaments. Rome has the allure of the mountains, the charm of the hills on which she sits, and with which she is girdled: her secret is not some thing which Swallows up the adorer, it is no Nirvana of the spirit or the mind her secret is a jewel for which her admirers must joust, and to whom she will she gives it. All roads lead to Rome yes, but you must get on to a road. And the idler, the false mystic, the Buddhist, the quietist adventures no high road: he lingers, in a keen selfishness, among the meadows of a false philosophy. All roads lead to Rome yes, but you must have the will to move, the passion to achieve, the desire to possess. All roads lead to Rome yes, whether as Christian, or as poet, or as archaeologist, or as aesthete you may go to Rome and you will then reach the treasure of the ages of the heart, the satisfaction of many needs, the solace of sorrow and the deep security of faith.
