Book Excerpt: egrave; due terzi d'Africa da esplorare; gli influenti del Nilo da riconoscere.... Ha detto influenti o affluenti? Non so.--Affluenti ed influenti, tutt'uno;---osserv il sottoprefetto;--credo, per altro, che sia pi proprio il dire affluenti. Dobbiamo badare anche al patrimonio della lingua, signor Prospero; dobbiamo badarci sopra tutto noi, che siamo i depositarii del potere. Ma anche sulla faccenda dell'equatore, io spero che Ella avr fatto valere la sua autorit tutoria.---Autorit , veramente, ne ho poca;--confess il signor Prospero.--Mi sono contentato di dirle che ci fa troppo caldo in Africa, come fa troppo freddo ai poli, che non avrei potuto risolvermi l su due piedi ad accompagnarla; che, infine, ci avevo i conti della tutela da aggiustare, e che questa fatica, necessaria per lo meno quanto l'ornamento della geografia, mi avrebbe preso un anno di tempo.-- un anno di guadagnato;--disse il sottoprefetto;--e inRead More

Book Excerpt: ...ragionanti, sparse sulla faccia della terra, non l'abbiano ancora sentito. Capisco che per molti questione di vivere, e i bisogni urgenti non danno agio a pensare: capisco ancora che la felicit suprema dell'estasi inerte richiede un alto grado di perfezione intellettuale. Ma tutti quelli che l'hanno raggiunto, quel grado, perch si vengono moltiplicando senza ragione i bisogni? perch vanno attorno cercando i malanni col lumicino? perch ficcano la mano nel vaso di Pandora, rovistando nel fondo, se per caso ci fosse rimasto ancora un fastidio? A buon conto, io non mi prender quello di salire a Santa Giustina. Si sta qui tanto bene, mezzo appoggiati e mezzo seduti sulla spalla dell'argine Passano a coppie le farfalle, pieridi e vanesse dorate, rincorrendosi tra le piante, apparendo e disparendo senza posa, contente di agitarsi e di vivere; vengono folgorando nell'aria, quasi radendo il pelo dell'acqua, le damigelle e i cavalocchi dalle diafane ali iridate, dai cor...

He was treading cautiously over a brownish carpet of fungus growth, creeping furtively toward the stream he generically called "water". Towering overhead, three man-heights high, great toadstools hid the grayish sky from sight. Clinging to their foot-thick stalks were other fungi, parasites on growths that had once been parasites themselves. Burl was a slender young man wearing a single garment twisted about his waist, made from the wing-fabric of a great moth his tribesmen had slain as it emerged from its cocoon. His fair skin showed no trace of sunburn. He had never seen the sun, though the sky was rarely hidden from view save by the giant fungi which, along with monster cabbages, were the only growing things he knew. Clouds usually spread overhead, and when they did not, perpetual haze made the sun but an indefinitely brighter part of the sky, never a sharply edged ball of fire. Fantastic mosses, misshapen fungi, colossal molds and yeasts, comprised the landscape about him.

Genova lo attrasse ben presto come il campo aperto ad ogni sua attivit ; e Genova gli rimase, per tutta la vita, amore saldo, fervido, e fervente per mille guise in mille manifestazioni. Vi hanno, nel suo romanzo La sirena alcune pagine d'alto valore autobiografico. Vi si parla di un giovane prete savonese - che esistette realmente sotto altro nome - il quale, nel buio della notte, di sul gran ponte inoltrantesi in mezzo alle onde sulla spiaggia di Vado, contempla, per quella immensa distesa di mare, un fioco riflesso di luce disegnantesi all'orizzonte: il riflesso della Lanterna di Capo di Faro che viene a morirvi in un ultimo bagliore; e quella luce lo attrae come la farfalla il lume, suscitandogli un tumulto di lusinghiere immaginazioni. In quelle pagine l'autore fonde, rievocandole da artista, sue ricordanze dei primi tempi.
