[Footnote 100: Ugolino had the dream while suffering the acute pangs of hunger. He dreamt of a famished wolf and its whelps, hunted by she-hounds, under which allegory he recognizes the Ghibellines, himself being a Guelf.] [Footnote 101: _San Giuliano_, a mountain between Pisa and Lucca.] [Footnote 102: The Pisans, about eight months after Ugolino's imprisonment, bolted the dungeon's massive doors, locked them, and threw the keys into the Arno.] [Footnote 103: Dante calls the language of Southern France the language of _oc_, and the Italian the language of _si_; both _oc_ and _si_ meaning "yes."] [Footnote 104: Two small islands at the mouth of the Arno.] We had marked one or two more pieces for transcription, but we deem it useless; for a diligent collation of Mr. Parsons's text with the literal translation we have given _ad calcem_ will at once convince the reader of the faithfulness of the work. Of course, it would be absurd to expect that words were rendered for words. It is simply impossible. Again: there are words which cannot be rendered. We know the Italian language pretty well--and why shouldn't we?--yet we have never been able to find the Italian word corresponding with the English "home"; nor have twenty-three years of close and earnest study of the English language yet enabled us to find an English word corresponding with the Italian _vagheggiare_. We say, "He was lost in the contemplation of a picture:" the Italian will simply say, "_Vagheggiava la pittura._" Translate, if you can, "L'amante vagheggia la sua bella!" You can do it no more than the Italian can render with corresponding meaning the words, "Home! sweet home!"
