--Se il conte Fabiano potesse comprendere!... Quale consolazione ne
avrebbe!... Come sarebbe superbo!
Ma un giorno la contessa Clara Dolores scosse il capo.
Ella aveva da tempo rinunziato ai piaceri del mondo per stare a fianco
del figliuolo, a cui prodigava un tesoro di materna sollecitudine.
E scosse il capo, e rispose:
--Voi mi fate paura, caro amico. La gloria e il genio non hanno dato
mai, a chi doveva portarne il peso, se non dolore. Io vorrei che mio
figlio non avesse gloria, non avesse genio; e che la vita gli
sorridesse, come sorride agli ignoti e ai mediocri.


XXX.

Bruno Traldi era passato indifferente attraverso altri frastuoni. E
neppur la vittoria lo commoveva, quasi ne fosse stato sempre certo.
Fuggiva quanto era possibile il mondo. La sua vita oscillava tra la
tomba dei vivi in cui suo padre vegetava ancora, e la tomba battuta
dal vento e dalla neve e dalla pioggia e lambita dal sole, in cui era
stata composta la salma di Nicla.
Andava spesso a trovarla, e la raccomandava amorosamente al guardiano
perchè nulla le mancasse intorno.
Chiedeva a quella memoria la forza di vivere, come aveva giurato.
Dandosi a lui per sempre, Nicla gli aveva gettato ai piedi l'aulente
corona della vita. Ed egli gettava ai piedi della cara ombra la corona
intossicata della gloria.
Ma assorto innanzi alla candida tomba, gli era avvenuto più volte di
stendere le braccia nel vuoto, mentre le sue labbra susurravano il
ritornello che il vecchio maestro cantava a lui bambino:
«Tu dormi alle mie grida disperate--E il gallo canta e non ti vuoi
svegliare».
