"Because I could do nothing. I had no prospects,I was poor, and I was not a man of genius. I had no talents even; I took my measure early in life. I was simply the most fastidious young gentleman living. There were two or three people in the world I envied—the Emperor of Russia, for instance, and the Sultan of Turkey! There were even moments when I envied the Pope of Rome—for the consideration he enjoys. I should have been delighted to be considered to that extent; but since that couldn＇t be I didn＇t care for anything less, and I made up my mind not to go in for honours. The leanest gentleman can always consider himself, and fortunately I was, though lean, a gentleman. I could do nothing in Italy—I couldn＇t even be an Italian patriot. To do that I should have had to get out of the country; and I was too fond of it to leave it, to say nothing of my being too well satis昀ed with it, on the whole, as it then was, to wish it altered. So I＇ve passed a great many years here on that quiet plan I spoke of. I＇ve not been at all unhappy. I don＇t mean to say I＇ve cared for nothing; but the things I＇ve cared for have been de昀nite—limited. The events of my life have been absolutely unperceived by any one save myself; getting an old silver cruci昀x at a bargain (I＇ve never bought anything dear, of course), or discovering,as I once did, a sketch by Correggio on a panel daubed over by some inspired idiot."
