    “For us to go to Italy and to penetrate into Italy is like a most fascinating act of self-discovery—back, back down the old ways of time. Strange and wonderful chords awake in us, and vibrate again after many hundreds of years of complete forgetfulness.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “I know I am but summer to your heart,
    And not the full four seasons of the year.”
