“I had a friend who loved me;” but he has gone, and the “great gulf” is between us. After his death, I received a packet of manuscript with these few words:—“What I have written may appeal to you because of our friendship, and because, when you come to read them, you will seek to grasp, in these apparent confidences, an inner meaning that to the end will elude you. If you think others, not the many but the few, might find here any answer to their unuttered questionings, any fellowship of sympathy in those experiences which are the milestones of our lives, then use the letters as ...

Demetrius A. Gallitzin (1770-1840) was born a Russian Prince, but converted from a nominal Orthodoxy to the Catholic church, in which he was ordained a priest. Emigrating to America, he became the "Apostle of the Alleghenies" where he spent much of his fortune to spread Catholicism.

An enlarged version of this brochure went through repeated editions in the United States and Ireland and was translated for ...

Una riflessione il più possibile completa sul compositore, sul tempo in cui visse, sugli incontri e la vita culturale del suo tempo. Sulle tracce dell’analisi di Giacomo de Benedetti su Giovanni Pascoli, si individuano dunque segrete affinità tra il poeta e il musicista. Così Giacomo Puccini si rivela affine a Pascoli nell’irrequieto ricercarsi. E nel bisogno di ritornare sui suoi passi alla ricerca di una sicurezza che esiste solo nei risultati della sua opera. Da questa irrequietezza nasce quindi la spinta verso il nuovo, l’inesplorato. Il tempo di Puccini è infatti un tempo in cui...

Virginia Woolf. (Summary by barbara2)
