Excerpt from A Day With Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy So, he said, his English gaining piquancy from his slight lisp, you come from England - from clear England. I love your country greatly. It has fog, and it is dark, too, for the sun forgets to shine at times; but it is beautiful - like a picture, and when it smiles, what land is sweeter?

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy From Italy and Switzerland Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was born at Hamburg, on the third of February, 1809. The name to which he was destined to add such lustre, was already high in the annals of fame. Moses Mendelssohn, his grandfather, a great Jewish philosopher, one of the most remarkable men of his time, was the author of profound Metaphysical works, written both in German and Hebrew. To this great power of intellect, Moses Mendelssohn added a purity and dignity of character worthy of the old stoics. The epigraph on the bust of this ancestor of the composer, shows the esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries: "Faithful to the religion of his fathers, as wise as Socrates, like Socrates teaching the immortality of the soul, and like Socrates leaving a name that is immortal." One of Moses Mendelssohn's daughters married Frederick Schlegel, and swerving from the religion in which both had been brought up, both became Roman Catholics.
