I go into the churches and make croquis. If you only knew the effect of going into Santa Maria Maggiore ! First one is struck by the mysterious gloom which enfolds the choir and aisles, and the perfect stillness which prevails, two or three people only kneeling in a corner. A few days ago I went there, and was startled by this religious impres- 74 STA. MARIA MAGGIORE.
sion. All of a sudden a beautiful chant rose from some distant chapel, in the most perfect harmony with all the surroundings. My... eye grew accustomed to the darkness, and then I could distinguish the figures in Greek mosaic which decorate the back of the choir, and which are really awful in their greatness. Indeed these old basilicas impress me quite differently from St. Peter s, which is a marvel of grandeur and richness; but duly to estimate it you must use your feet rather than your eyes, for, as one has often heard, it looks far less spacious than it really is. " "ROME, April 20, 1833.
" At last I am finally settled in my own room and studio, a nice one of twenty feet square joining my room.
