Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Wake of the Green Banner The room was high and wide. A trefoil-shaped opening faced the door. Through the trefoil the glance swept the European town. A glimpse through the door revealed a Moorish peristyle, a pergola, an Oriental city bathed in the transparencies of late afternoon´s atmosphere, and an endless perspective of palm gardens. There was little light in the solemn apartment. Blue on the limewash of the vaulted ceiling, violet on the pink walls where the arabesques of a whimsical frieze shone with a glitter of molten brass, twilight shadow was the true inmate of the room. A thick Persian rug covered the mosaic. Three onyx steps led to an alcove. The most conspicuous piece of furniture was a low Moorish bed of red damask and green linen. A large coffer, such as native women use to hoard their jewels and finery, standing close to the wall and covered with a leopardskin, constituted a very decorative, if not a very comfortable, divan. Upon the rug of old-rose color, near an unlighted brasero of mediaeval Spanish pattern, a mandolin rested on cushions of brocade and velvet.
