Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Fortnight in Naples In this scene of abundance, spread out by nature, of this harmonious generosity of earth and waters, Naples is the bright touch in floral decorations - or it is the rich drapery with which the scene painter enlivens a comer of his ensemble, to graduate its values, to soften its high colours, and cleverly to distribute its lights. The city holds together the sensations that are inclined to disperse in so much amplitude and profusion, redeeming the loss of clear-cut realities and grouping the scattered and confused ideas too suddenly awakened by this vision, so strong in masses, so sumptuous in detail. Is it insisting to continue and say that almost insignificant as Naples is in this immensity, by the mere accident of its position in just the place where it should be, it holds mountains and plains together and distributes all the minor accessories to the grandeur of the panorama in perfect balance and harmony? But Naples is more than a stage property in the great setting of the bay, more than a pivotal thought for the philosopher. It is an entity of action; and, as figures of speech come to mind imperiously in this flowery country, I confess to yet another.
