Note 354 — Chapter III · THE MODERN IDEA OF FAME.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Comp. Discorsi, i. 27. ‘Tristizia’ (crime) can have ‘grandezza’ and be ‘in alcuna parte generosa’; ‘grandezza’ can take away ‘infamia’ from a deed; a man can be ‘onorevolmente tristo’ in contrast to one who is ‘perfettamente buono.’
