[Footnote 1241: "It seems rather a humiliating proof of the sway which the feeblest prince enjoys even in a limited monarchy, that the fortunes of Europe should have been changed by nothing more n.o.ble than the insolence of one waiting-woman and the cunning of another.

[Footnote 1242: A work in course of preparation.]
[Footnote 1243: "Then as to all this activity, so many movements of all things celestial and all things earthly, turning without ceasing, only to return forever there whence they set forth, I can divine no use and no fruition" (Leopardis _Nocturnal Song of a Nomad Shepherd in Asia_).]
