Casanova was in his fifty-third year. Though no longer driven by
the lust of adventure that had spurred him in his youth, he was
still hunted athwart the world, hunted now by a restlessness due to
the approach of old age. His yearning for Venice, the city of his
birth, grew so intense that, like a wounded bird slowly circling
downwards in its death flight, he began to move in ever-narrowing
circles. Again and again, during the last ten years of his exile,
he had implored the Supreme Council for leave to return home.
Erstwhile, in the drafting of these petitions - a work in which he
was a past master - a defiant, wilful spirit seemed to have guided
his pen; at times even he appeared to take a grim delight in his
forwardness. But of late his requests had been couched in humble,
beseeching words which displayed, ever more plainly, the ache of
homesickness and genuine repentance.
