Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Foreign Facts and Fancies The idea of children does not readily occur to the stranger in Venice. Why should it? Are not its citizens born into the world men and women, with faces beyond their years? Do its narrow, crooked passages, hardly worthy the name of streets, constantly interrupted by steep bridges over sea channels lined with aged palaces, between whose marble walls the silent tides steal ever onward like the march of fate, furnish any playgrounds for boys and girls? So when I stood, very early the morning after my arrival, in the great Piazza of St. Mark´s, no thought of childhood was in my mind.
