THE PSYCHE

In the fresh morning dawn, in the rosy1 air gleams a great Star, the brightest Star of the morning. His rays tremble on the white wall, as if he wished to write down on it what he can tell, what he has seen there and elsewhere during thousands of years in our rolling world. Let us hear one of his stories.
"A short time ago"—the Star's "short time ago" is called among men "centuries ago"—"my rays followed a young artist. It was in the city of the Popes, in the world-city, Rome. Much has been changed there in the course of time, but the changes have not come so quickly as the change from youth to old age. Then already the palace of the Caesars was a ruin, as it is now; fig2 trees and laurels3 grew among the fallen marble columns, and in the desolate4 bathing-halls, where the gilding5 still clings to the wall; the Coliseum was a gigantic ruin; the church bells sounded, the incense6 sent up its fragrant7 cloud, and through the streets marched processions with flaming tapers8 and glowing canopies9. Holy Church was there, and art was held as a high and holy thing. In Rome lived the greatest painter in the world, Raphael; there also dwelt the first of sculptors10, Michael Angelo. Even the Pope paid homage12 to these two, and honored them with a visit. Art was recognized and honored, and was rewarded also. But, for all that, everything great and splendid was not seen and known.
