While he was there, a messenger arrived post-haste from Rome, commanding his immediate return. He is now once more at home there, and as well as the troublous circumstances of the times permit.^ Later on he told Vasari:^ "I have re- cently enjoyed a great pleasure, though purchased at the cost of great discomfort and expense, among the mountains of Spoleto, on a visit to those hermits.
^ Lettere, No. ccxcix.
' Ibid., No. cdlzxix., December 28, 1556.

Consequently, I have come back less than half myself tb Rome ; for of a truth there is no peace to be found except among the woods." This is the only passage in the whole of Michelangelo's cor- respondence which betrays the least feeling for wild nature. We cannot pretend, even here, to detect an interest in landscape or a true appreciation of country life. Compared with Rome and the Duke of Alva, those hermitages of the hills among their chestnut-groves seemed to him haunts of ancient peace. That is all ; but when dealing with a man so sternly insensible to the charm of the external world, we have to be contented with a little.* In connection with this brief sojourn at Spoleto I will introduce two letters written to Michelangelo by the Archbishop of Ragusa from his See.
