The dirt of these children of captivity8 exceeds all possibility of description; the profusion9 of stinks10 which they raised, the grease of their venerable garments and faces, the horrible messes cooked in the filthy11 pots, and devoured13 with the nasty fingers, the squalor of mats, pots, old bedding, and foul14 carpets of our Hebrew friends, could hardly be painted by Swift in his dirtiest mood, and cannot be, of course, attempted by my timid and genteel pen. What would they say in Baker15 Street to some sights with which our new friends favoured us? What would your ladyship have said if you had seen the interesting Greek nun16 combing her hair over the cabin — combing it with the natural fingers, and, averse17 to slaughter18, flinging the delicate little intruders, which she found in the course of her investigation19, gently into the great cabin? Our attention was a good deal occupied in watching the strange ways and customs of the various comrades of ours.
The Jews were refugees from Poland, going to lay their bones to rest in the valley of Jehoshaphat, and performing with exceeding rigour the offices of their religion. At morning and evening you were sure to see the chiefs of the families, arrayed in white robes, bowing over their books, at prayer. Once a week, on the eve before the Sabbath, there was a general washing in Jewry, which sufficed until the ensuing Friday. The men wore long gowns and caps of fur, or else broad-brimmed hats, or, in service time, bound on their heads little iron boxes, with the sacred name engraved20 on them. Among the lads there were some beautiful faces; and among the women your humble21 servant discovered one who was a perfect rosebud22 of beauty when first emerging from her Friday’s toilet, and for a day or two afterwards, until each succeeding day’s smut darkened those fresh and delicate cheeks of hers. We had some very rough weather in the course of the passage from Constantinople to Jaffa, and the sea washed over and over our Israelitish friends and their baggages and bundles; but though they were said to be rich, they would not afford to pay for cabin shelter. One father of a family, finding his progeny23 half drowned in a squall, vowed24 he WOULD pay for a cabin; but the weather was somewhat finer the next day, and he could not squeeze out his dollars, and the ship’s authorities would not admit him except upon payment.
This unwillingness25 to part with money is not only found amongst the followers26 of Moses, but in those of Mahomet, and Christians27 too. When we went to purchase in the bazaars29, after offering money for change, the honest fellows would frequently keep back several piastres, and when urged to refund30, would give most dismally31: and begin doling32 out penny by penny, and utter pathetic prayers to their customer not to take any more. I bought five or six pounds’ worth of Broussa silks for the womankind, in the bazaar28 at Constantinople, and the rich Armenian who sold them begged for three-halfpence to pay his boat to Galata. There is something naif and amusing in this exhibition of cheatery — this simple cringing33 and wheedling34, and passion for twopence-halfpenny. It was pleasant to give a millionaire beggar an alms, and laugh in his face and say, “There, Dives, there’s a penny for you: be happy, you poor old swindling scoundrel, as far as a penny goes.” I used to watch these Jews on shore, and making bargains with one another as soon as they came on board; the battle between vendor35 and purchaser was an agony — they shrieked36, clasped hands, appealed to one another passionately37; their handsome noble faces assumed a look of woe38 — quite an heroic eagerness and sadness about a farthing.
Ambassadors from our Hebrews descended39 at Rhodes to buy provisions, and it was curious to see their dealings: there was our venerable Rabbi, who, robed in white and silver, and bending over his book at the morning service, looked like a patriarch, and whom I saw chaffering about a fowl40 with a brother Rhodian Israelite. How they fought over the body of that lean animal! The street swarmed41 with Jews: goggling42 eyes looked out from the old carved casements43 — hooked noses issued from the low antique doors — Jew boys driving donkeys, Hebrew mothers nursing children, dusky, tawdry, ragged44 young beauties and most venerable grey-bearded fathers were all gathered round about the affair of the hen! And at the same time that our Rabbi was arranging the price of it, his children were instructed to procure45 bundles of green branches to decorate the ship during their feast. Think of the centuries during which these wonderful people have remained unchanged; and how, from the days of Jacob downwards46, they have believed and swindled!
The Rhodian Jews, with their genius for filth12, have made their quarter of the noble desolate47 old town the most ruinous and wretched of all. The escutcheons of the proud old knights49 are still carved over the doors, whence issue these miserable50 greasy51 hucksters and pedlars. The Turks respected these emblems52 of the brave enemies whom they had overcome, and left them untouched. When the French seized Malta they were by no means so delicate: they effaced53 armorial bearings with their usual hot-headed eagerness; and a few years after they had torn down the coats-of-arms of the gentry54, the heroes of Malta and Egypt were busy devising heraldry for themselves, and were wild to be barons56 and counts of the Empire.
The chivalrous57 relics58 at Rhodes are very superb. I know of no buildings whose stately and picturesque59 aspect seems to correspond better with one’s notions of their proud founders60. The towers and gates are warlike and strong, but beautiful and aristocratic: you see that they must have been high-bred gentlemen who built them. The edifices61 appear in almost as perfect a condition as when they were in the occupation of the noble Knights of St. John; and they have this advantage over modern fortifications, that they are a thousand times more picturesque. Ancient war condescended62 to ornament63 itself, and built fine carved castles and vaulted64 gates: whereas, to judge from Gibraltar and Malta, nothing can be less romantic than the modern military architecture; which sternly regards the fighting, without in the least heeding65 the war-paint. Some of the huge artillery66 with which the place was defended still lies in the bastions; and the touch-holes of the guns are preserved by being covered with rusty67 old corselets, worn by defenders68 of the fort three hundred years ago. The Turks, who battered69 down chivalry70, seem to be waiting their turn of destruction now. In walking through Rhodes one is strangely affected71 by witnessing the signs of this double decay. For instance, in the streets of the knights, you see noble houses, surmounted72 by noble escutcheons of superb knights, who lived there, and prayed, and quarrelled, and murdered the Turks; and were the most gallant73 pirates of the inland seas; and made vows74 of chastity, and robbed and ravished; and, professing75 humility76, would admit none but nobility into their order; and died recommending themselves to sweet St. John, and calmly hoping for heaven in consideration of all the heathen they had slain77. When this superb fraternity was obliged to yield to courage as great as theirs, faith as sincere, and to robbers even more dexterous78 and audacious than the noblest knight48 who ever sang a canticle to the Virgin79, these halls were filled by magnificent Pashas and Agas, who lived here in the intervals80 of war, and having conquered its best champions, despised Christendom and chivalry pretty much as an Englishman despises a Frenchman. Now the famous house is let to a shabby merchant, who has his little beggarly shop in the bazaar; to a small officer, who ekes81 out his wretched pension by swindling, and who gets his pay in bad coin. Mahometanism pays in pewter now, in place of silver and gold. The lords of the world have run to seed. The powerless old sword frightens nobody now — the steel is turned to pewter too, somehow, and will no longer shear82 a Christian head off any shoulders. In the Crusades my wicked sympathies have always been with the Turks. They seem to me the better Christians of the two: more humane83, less brutally84 presumptuous86 about their own merits, and more generous in esteeming87 their neighbours. As far as I can get at the authentic88 story, Saladin is a pearl of refinement89 compared to the brutal85 beef-eating Richard — about whom Sir Walter Scott has led all the world astray.
When shall we have a real account of those times and heroes — no good-humoured pageant90, like those of the Scott romances — but a real authentic story to instruct and frighten honest people of the present day, and make them thankful that the grocer governs the world now in place of the baron55? Meanwhile a man of tender feelings may be pardoned for twaddling a little over this sad spectacle of the decay of two of the great institutions of the world. Knighthood is gone — amen; it expired with dignity, its face to the foe91: and old Mahometanism is lingering about just ready to drop. But it is unseemly to see such a Grand Potentate92 in such a state of decay: the son of Bajazet Ilderim insolvent93; the descendants of the Prophet bullied94 by Calmucs and English and whipper-snapper Frenchmen; the Fountain of Magnificence done up, and obliged to coin pewter! Think of the poor dear houris in Paradise, how sad they must look as the arrivals of the Faithful become less and less frequent every day. I can fancy the place beginning to wear the fatal Vauxhall look of the Seraglio, and which has pursued me ever since I saw it: the fountains of eternal wine are beginning to run rather dry, and of a questionable95 liquor; the ready-roasted-meat trees may cry, “Come eat me,” every now and then, in a faint voice, without any gravy96 in it — but the Faithful begin to doubt about the quality of the victuals97. Of nights you may see the houris sitting sadly under them, darning their faded muslins: Ali, Omar, and the Imaums are reconciled and have gloomy consultations98: and the Chief of the Faithful himself, the awful camel-driver, the supernatural husband of Khadijah, sits alone in a tumbledown kiosk, thinking moodily99 of the destiny that is impending100 over him; and of the day when his gardens of bliss101 shall be as vacant as the bankrupt Olympus.
All the town of Rhodes has this appearance of decay and ruin, except a few consuls’ houses planted on the sea-side, here and there, with bright flags flaunting102 in the sun; fresh paint; English crockery; shining mahogany, &c. — so many emblems of the new prosperity of their trade, while the old inhabitants were going to rack — the fine Church of St. John, converted into a mosque103, is a ruined church, with a ruined mosque inside; the fortifications are mouldering104 away, as much as time will let them. There was considerable bustle105 and stir about the little port; but it was the bustle of people who looked for the most part to be beggars; and I saw no shop in the bazaar that seemed to have the value of a pedlar’s pack.
I took, by way of guide, a young fellow from Berlin, a journeyman shoemaker, who had just been making a tour in Syria, and who professed106 to speak both Arabic and Turkish quite fluently — which I thought he might have learned when he was a student at college, before he began his profession of shoemaking; but I found he only knew about three words of Turkish, which were produced on every occasion, as I walked under his guidance through the desolate streets of the noble old town. We went out upon the lines of fortification, through an ancient gate and guard-house, where once a chapel107 probably stood, and of which the roofs were richly carved and gilded108. A ragged squad109 of Turkish soldiers lolled about the gate now; a couple of boys on a donkey; a grinning slave on a mule110; a pair of women flapping along in yellow papooshes; a basket-maker sitting under an antique carved portal, and chanting or howling as he plaited his osiers: a peaceful well of water, at which knights’ chargers had drunk, and at which the double-boyed donkey was now refreshing112 himself — would have made a pretty picture for a sentimental113 artist. As he sits, and endeavours to make a sketch114 of this plaintive115 little comedy, a shabby dignitary of the island comes clattering116 by on a thirty-shilling horse, and two or three of the ragged soldiers leave their pipes to salute117 him as he passes under the Gothic archway.
The astonishing brightness and clearness of the sky under which the island seemed to bask111, struck me as surpassing anything I had seen — not even at Cadiz, or the Piraeus, had I seen sands so yellow, or water so magnificently blue. The houses of the people along the shore were but poor tenements118, with humble courtyards and gardens; but every fig-tree was gilded and bright, as if it were in an Hesperian orchard119; the palms, planted here and there, rose with a sort of halo of light round about them; the creepers on the walls quite dazzled with the brilliancy of their flowers and leaves; the people lay in the cool shadows, happy and idle, with handsome solemn faces; nobody seemed to be at work; they only talked a very little, as if idleness and silence were a condition of the delightful120 shining atmosphere in which they lived.
We went down to an old mosque by the sea-shore, with a cluster of ancient domes121 hard by it, blazing in the sunshine, and carved all over with names of Allah, and titles of old pirates and generals who reposed122 there. The guardian123 of the mosque sat in the garden-court, upon a high wooden pulpit, lazily wagging his body to and fro, and singing the praises of the Prophet gently through his nose, as the breeze stirred through the trees overhead, and cast chequered and changing shadows over the paved court, and the little fountains, and the nasal psalmist on his perch124. On one side was the mosque, into which you could see, with its white walls and cool-matted floor, and quaint125 carved pulpit and ornaments126, and nobody at prayers. In the middle distance rose up the noble towers and battlements of the knightly127 town, with the deep sea-line behind them.
It really seemed as if everybody was to have a sort of sober cheerfulness, and must yield to indolence under this charming atmosphere. I went into the courtyard by the sea-shore (where a few lazy ships were lying, with no one on board), and found it was the prison of the place. The door was as wide open as Westminster Hall. Some prisoners, one or two soldiers and functionaries128, and some prisoners’ wives, were lolling under an arcade129 by a fountain; other criminals were strolling about here and there, their chains clinking quite cheerfully; and they and the guards and officials came up chatting quite friendly together, and gazed languidly over the portfolio130, as I was endeavouring to get the likeness131 of one or two of these comfortable malefactors. One old and wrinkled she-criminal, whom I had selected on account of the peculiar132 hideousness133 of her countenance134, covered it up with a dirty cloth, at which there was a general roar of laughter among this good-humoured auditory of cut-throats, pickpockets135, and policemen. The only symptom of a prison about the place was a door, across which a couple of sentinels were stretched, yawning; while within lay three freshly-caught pirates — chained by the leg. They had committed some murders of a very late date, and were awaiting sentence; but their wives were allowed to communicate freely with them: and it seemed to me that if half-a-dozen friends would set them flee, and they themselves had energy enough to move, the sentinels would be a great deal too lazy to walk after them.
The combined influence of Rhodes and Ramazan, I suppose, had taken possession of my friend the Schustergesell from Berlin. As soon as he received his fee, he cut me at once, and went and lay down by a fountain near the port, and ate grapes out of a dirty pocket-handkerchief. Other Christian idlers lay near him, dozing136, or sprawling137, in the boats, or listlessly munching138 water-melons. Along the coffee-houses of the quay139 sat hundreds more, with no better employment; and the captain of the “Iberia” and his officers, and several of the passengers in that famous steamship140, were in this company, being idle with all their might. Two or three adventurous141 young men went off to see the valley where the dragon was killed; but others, more susceptible142 of the real influence of the island, I am sure would not have moved though we had been told that the Colossus himself was taking a walk half a mile off.
