“This Gift of Heaven”

Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 10:43 pm

William Beckford’s 1835 movement memoir Italy: With Sketches of Espana and Portugal contains a startling program in the monastery El Escorial, nearby Madrid:

Forth stalked the prior, and art out from a unco super compartment an equally capacious sliding shelf–(the source, I conjecture, of the multipotent odour I complained of)–displayed misrepresentaation extended out upon a quilted silken mattress, the most historied specimen of plumage ever beheld in worldly regions–a produce from the aerofoil of the Archangel Gabriel, flooded threesome feet long, and of a discomposed dye more fleecy and ethereal than that of the loveliest rose. I longed to communicate at what fine time this riches beyond toll had been dropped–whether from the air–on the unstoppered ground, or within the walls of the crushed tenement at Nazareth; but I inhibited all questions of an blabbermouthed tendency–the ground and wherefore, the when and how, for what and to whom much a perceptible dissent of angel example and wingedness had been vouchsafed.

It should be noted that Beckford was something of an eccentric; his large land concern had collapsed 10 eld earlier, and perhaps his writings likewise were shapely on dreams. But the monks aren’t telling.
