Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Greek Tales Angelica had been looking forward to the trip for months, and her weary, anxious longing to see the Hermes was pathetic to the last degree. When we reached the valley she was standing, lost in thought, and evidently delighted with the scene. I fear the classic memories that should have thronged upon me in such a spot were lost in admiration of the fair Spanish-American before me; but as I turned slowly and reluctantly away, laden with rugs and baskets for our lodging up on the hill, I thought of old Milo of Crotona, who had staggered over this course, a bull on his shoulders, and wondered who and what he was in the days when Agamemnon ruled at Mycenae, and Helen was Queen of Sparta. I remember, too, a hot discussion with Angelica on our way up the furze-grown and boulder-covered hill, in which I appeared at a disadvantage, being warm and cross, while she, as ever, was provokingly cool and indifferent.
