Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Citizen of the Twilight: José Asuncion Silva "Bogota is a city of the Andes, 8000 feet above the sea. There the atmosphere is cold and dry. The air is delicate: the sky is of disconcerting purity and transparency. Forty or fifty miles away the profile of the mountains stands out brilliant and glittering, as in ombres chinois. Under this light, colour becomes provisional: soft tones become sharp, keen tones become half-tones. Neither black nor white can resist the light; the black takes a greenish tinge immediately, the white is spoiled by shades of grey. In this dry and rarefied air," continued Silva, "always at the same temperature, the nerves are in constant tension." Here is neither summer nor winter, but always chill and sun, or drizzling mist and dragging skirts of cloud: there are no long nights of winter, no long summer days, for night and day are alike the year around; and always it is either day or night, for there is no twilight in the courts of the sun.
