[1881. Thursday, October 20. I spent two hours in Cordova this morning just the time necessary to take a glance at the city, which is charming in its way. And I adore cities like Cordova ; there are some Roman ruins that absolutely enchanted me, and the mosque is a veritable wonder. Saturday, October 22. Well, here we are in Seville, this much-vaunted city. Indeed I lose a great deal of time here. I have seen the Museum a single hall full of Mu- rillos; I would have liked better to see somethin...g else, es- pecially here ; there are only Virgins and other sacred pictures. I, rude and ignorant barbarian as I am, with whom the opinions of others have but little weight, have never yet seen a Virgin such as I imagine her to have been. The Virgins of Raphael are beautiful in photographs ; I confess that the Virgins of Murillo, with their round faces and rosy cheeks, appeal but little either to my imagination or my heart. I will make an exception in favor of that in the Louvre, however, which has been so extensively copied ; that is the one which is painted with most feeling ; indeed, it might almost be characterized as divine.
