"The sun is shining brightly, and the great bell of the convent is just now making most lugubrious and dismal noises, as if the friars were determined to give the lie, as one by one they pull the rusty iron handle, to the brightness of the weather, and compel the town to listen to their penance and be sorry for them."-Pitures From Italy

"It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but as matters stood, it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage."-Hard Times
