Timeless writing. Iconic destinations.
"...on the sea during the obscurity of the night, in the silence of immensity, and under the eye of Heaven..."
"The streets lie straight up and down the hills, and straight across at right angles, these in sun, those in shadow..."
"...until one has known the wilderness one cannot begin to understand the cities."
"Nothing is grander than that which has fallen."
“…between them is a swarm of gondolas.”
“…the city had grown like a tree, forming ring after ring…”
"…the joy and sorrow, the life and death, the grandeur and decay, of five thousand slow revolving years."
“…rambling the streets of London.”
“He saw the darkening lands slipping away past him…”
"...irrepressible... even among dust and stones."
“It is a noise something like rain, or banana leaves in a wind.”
