Do not get down
yet, for if you do, then I shall be lifeless, as you have seen me in the Porta
Rosa." "I will stay with you, my dear creature," said the little boy. So then
they went on at a rapid pace through the streets of Florence, till they came to
the square before the church of Santa Croce. The folding-doors flew open, and
light streamed from the altar through the church into the deserted square. A
wonderful blaze of light streamed from one of the monuments in the left-side
aisle, and a thousand moving stars seemed to form a glory round it; even the
coat-of-arms on the tomb-stone shone, and a red ladder on a blue field gleamed
like fire.
The folding-doors flew open, and light streamed from the altar

from one of the monuments in the left-side aisle, and a thousand moving stars
seemed to form a glory round it; even the coat-of-arms on the tomb-stone shone,
and a red ladder on a blue field gleamed like fire. It was the grave of Galileo.
The monument is unadorned, but the red ladder is an emblem of art, signifying
that the way to glory leads up a shining ladder, on which the prophets of mind
rise to heaven, like Elias of old.
In the right aisle of the church every
statue on the richly carved sarcophagi seemed endowed with life. Here stood
Michael Angelo; there Dante, with the laurel wreath round his brow; Alfieri and
Machiavelli; for here side by side rest the great men- the pride of Italy. The
church itself is very beautiful, even more beautiful than the marble cathedral
at Florence, though not so large. It seemed as if the carved vestments stirred,
and as if the marble figures they covered raised their heads higher, to gaze
upon the brightly colored glowing altar where the white-robed boys swung the
golden censers, amid music and song, while the strong fragrance of incense
filled the church, and streamed forth into the square.
