Note No. 48. Sunday Walks Around Rome and Vatican

-

4th September 1820

 

Today I will describe in few words latest walk around Rome and tomorrow I am going back to England, Scotland, and Shakespeare. But not only.

A poet glorified a street called Campo de’Fiori* lately so I had to go there with my family today. It is Sunday so we also went to Vatican, but I will talk about it later. I do not know how many fountains I saw today. It all was amazing and wonderful but only one reflect in my mind now… We also had a good weather today. It was not too hot. I raced upstairs the Spanish Steps few times and this dress I wore today I absolutely deserve trophy. Wise me. What you would not do for children…

Whereas William wanted to see aqueducts and thermal baths. He could not marvel enough. At the end we reached by the river Tiber. Totally different feelings than by our native one. Like a dream, like a different epoque.

Ah! My husband also explored those famous Roman roads today. All roads lead to Rome. Yes, yeah, true. He also worshiped them. Literally. He almost created a hymn for it.

Vatican. Vatican was at the beginning. The mass in The Basilica of Saint Peter (unfortunately I remembered more to look around than to say those Latic phrases), The Sistine Chapel brought me to my knees, or actually on seven layers of my dress, at the end we went for walk to Vatican Gardens. I only regret that I did not see the Pope…

This little much today, more tomorrow. I must process all I saw today. Until tomorrow, my dear diary.


 

* I have read ten poetry books of Czesław Miłosz written between 1945-1989 lately, the Nobel Prize winner in 1980, and one of his poems is this name of Italian street. Such a fun reference.

Note No. 56 - Last Word About England And Scotland

-
12 th  September 1820   Dear diary, William is going crazy but you probably know it well. Why was he screaming yesterday? That is a really good question. I honestly did not know... Actually, nothing happened... I mean... It was impossible to find out! When I went to Catherine, she and Mary (my wise women!) told me what happened - William Anthony.... Ah! Let me tell you tomorrow!  Today I feel a little bit sour when I remind myself that tour... Different place every day... And those sad people and sad weather... They all were bored and they did not even know about it... It made me sick at the end... I spent two days nothing but laying in bed. My head was all the time aching and William said that I looked thin.   London. That is where I was born. That is what my parents knew before they left me... They could stay and live a little bit longer... Now I have new family and I am glad but that place made me feel so melancholically. That world is gone forever. Also, jus...

Note No. 54. ROMAntic Day in Italy

-
10 th September 1820   Oh! I thought I would have written about England and Scotland today or maybe I would have started my new one-act drama, but my husband really like to ruin my plans… Yes! He took me for a romantic dinner instead! Unbelievable, right? What can I say? He just knocked to my chamber this morning, flowers in his hands (he said he picked up those field flowers by himself; I do not know where he found a meadow in Rome but ok) and he did not let me say a word – he just came and kissed me! And then he said, “Do not worry, my dear, I have prepared everything for you, my queen”. Ah, he is such a sweetheart! Then we left our residence (after breakfast and two hours of preparing THIS look; I mean my white-blue English style dress) and he knew exactly where to lead me – a little super cute restaurant. Only for us! Violin sounds played all the time, I have tasted so many completely new dishes to me that I look like I am with the third child now! We were there until ...
