The Rome which I had painted in my imagination, no longer existed.

When I recur to the principles which were inculcated at school, and the motives used to encourage us to study, I am now able to understand their unsoundness and their evil tendency.

Rome, which I had before admired and thought of frequently, I ever since have loved.

There is not a spot of ground on earth in which do not lie the bones of some generous Italian, for whose sake Italy ought never to cease from the struggle until free herself.
