Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels, Stories and Sketches of F. Hopkinson Smith My probe has not gone very far below the surface. The task would have been uncongenial and the result superfluous. The record of the resources, religions, politics, governments, social conditions, and misfortunes of Mexico already enlarges many folios and lies heavy on many shelves, and I hope on some consciences. I have preferred rather to present what would appeal to the painter and idler. A land of white sunshine redolent with flowers; a land of gay costumes, crumbling churches, and old convents; a land of kindly greetings, of extreme courtesy, of open, broad hospitality. I have delighted my soul with the swaying of the lilies in the sunlight, the rush of the roses crowding over mouldy walls, the broadleaved palms cooling the shadows, and have wasted none of my precious time searching for the lizard and the mole crawling at their roots.
