Book Description
Excerpt from Italian Journeys, Vol. 2 The Euganean Hills, 011 one of which the poet's house is built, are those mellow heights which you see when you look south west across the lagoon at Venice. In misty weather they are blue and in clear weather silver, and the October sunset loves them. They rise in tender azure before you as you issue from the southern gate of Padua, and grow in loveliness as you draw nearer to them from the rich plain that washes their feet with endless harvests of oil and wine.
