Grandiloquize

Il Riscatto dell’ Italia takes a high flight, and grandiloquizes on the past abjectness and present glory of Italy; whilst the Costituzione and the Costituzionale walk on earth, and advocate moderation in the exercise of a boon which has been granted by the loving Ferdinand to his “amatissimi sudditi.”

Jean Paul ingeniously explained that when we laugh at the stupidity of other people, it is only because we have imputed, or as he says “loaned,” to them our insight, and thus in them been able to perceive the contrast between a minimum and a maximum of such insight. His metaphysical grandiloquizing upon the terms sublime and ridiculous, infinitely little and infinitely great, is fruitless of true meaning, and that I suppose was the essence of its emotional value.

Being at the Buccellatis was always such a bore since the place seemed to attract egos stroking beards. There was always a false kind of energy, people hyped on liquor and self-glorification, swelled with self-importance, grandiloquizing around the table, stirring up discussions for the sake of hearing themselves sound impressive, each one essentially saying either nothing or else arguing the same point of view without being aware that he was agreeing with the other, because no one ever listened to anyone else anyway.
