Italy

📖 The Scoop

Excerpt from Italy: Rome and Naples, Florence and Venice
There are an infinity of entr'actes in travelling. These are the dull hours of the day - getting up, going to bed, waiting at stations, between visits, and when you are weary and indifferent. At such times you look at things on the dark side. There is but one remedy, and that is a pencil and taking notes.
You must regard this as a journal with some of its pages missing, and moreover, entirely personal. I do not pretend that what pleases me will please you, and still less that it will please others. Heaven preserve us from legislators in matters of beauty, pleasure, and emotion What each one feels is peculiar and appropriate to him self like his nature; my experiences will depend upon what I am.
