Evidence: | Lady Harriet Cavendish to her mother, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (December 1804):
'I have been reading a great deal of Italian, there are a thousand beauties in Metastasio that I had never observed and I had never read some of the best parts of it. "Isacco" is, I think, almost more beautiful and affecting than any of them.' |
