Every one knows the convent and its cloisters ; its garden of magnolias and oleanders ; its relics of Byron who there learnt Armenian as " something craggy to break his mind on. " Ruskin was fond of going there for quiet. He always felt at home, he says, with monkish friends, and he had none more valued than III HOMES AND HAUNTS OF RUSKIN those of the lagoon-isle. Few, if any, survive, I suppose, who knew him in the flesh, but his memory is cherished still. In their library the priests have a c...opy of The Stones of Venice with an autograph inscription by the author hoping that he may some- times be remembered by the good brothers ; and in the little Museum they have framed a letter of 1883/ in which Ruskin, in deploring some necessity for rebuilding, tells his old friends that they had really better leave Venice and come and build a nice monastery on an island in Lancaster Bay.
