Excerpt from Conversation: Essays

Giano? Asks the courtier Malpiglio, in Tasso's dialog. The beauty of the book is such that it deserves to be read in all ages, as long as courts endure, as long as princes reign and knights and ladies meet, as long as valor and cour tesy hold a place in our hearts, the name of Castiglione will be held in honor.
