Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of Italian Shores Italia! oh, Italia! thou who hast The fatal gift of beauty, which became A funeral dower of present woes and past, On thy sweet brow is sorrow ploughed by shame, And annals grayed in characters of flame. Oh, God 1 that thou wert in thy nakedness Less lovely, or more powerful, and couldst claim Thy right, and awe the robbers back who press To shed thy blood, and drink the tears of thy distress. - Bybon. Italia is a mysterious blue lotus blossom, exhaling a subtle fragrance from an amethystine sea as blue as herself, but of a different shade. The aroma of the flower as it pervades everywhere is, however, not a narcotic lulling men to sleep, but a fierce intoxicant inciting them to battle. Small matter if, now and then, shining petals be broken away, for a marvelous recuperative power in the heart of the lily herself restores them again. For centuries she has been wave-kissed, sun-kissed, moon-kissed, star-kissed, while above her has stretched the reverent blue baldachino of the sky; and for centuries the human race has longed to pluck her and possess her.
