Diary Of An Idle Woman In Italy Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Diary of an Idle Woman in Spain, Vol. 1 of 2 No houses, streets, or faubourgs - nothing but a solitude of white walls, marble balustrades, carved portals, and lines of endless windows, overlooking hanging gardens, and lofty terraces towering over trees. Below, on emerald banks, in the cool gorge, I see tents and tilted waggons. The thrum of guitars and castanets drifts upwards; the drone of Moorish ballads, the cries of children, men leaping in the wild dances of old Spain, swinging cudgels, and flinging arms in Pyrrhic rounds; large-eyed Gitanas and brown-faced peasants looking on.
