Excerpt from Walks in Rome, Vol. 2 of 2 The Capuchin monk, Fra Martino, was my mother' s confessor. He made very much of me, and gave me a picture of the Virgin, weeping great tears, which fell, like raindrops, down into the burning flames Of hell, where the damned caught this draught Of refreshment. He took me over with him into the convent, where the Open colonnade, which inclosed in a square the little potato-garden, with the two cypress and orange trees, made a very deep impression upon me. Side by side, in the Open passages, hung Old portraits Of deceased monks, and on the door Of each cell were pasted pictures from the history Of the martyrs, which I contemplated with the same holy emotions as afterwards the masterpieces of Raffaelle and Andrea del Sarto.
