Chapter V
“And you,” retorted Cataneo, “have you never seen the direct ray of a star opening the vistas above; have you never mounted on that beam which guides you to the sky, to the heart of the first causes which move the worlds?” To their hearers, the Duke and Capraja were playing a game of which the premises were unknown. “Genovese’s voice thrills through every fibre,” said Capraja. “And la Tinti’s fires the blood,” replied the Duke. “What a paraphrase of happy love is that _cavatina_!”
