Excerpt from Cecilia: A Story of Modern RomeIt is very peaceful there. Above, the concave of the small house of meeting looks down upon cir tiers of brick seats, and beyond these there and a little fountain. To the right and left, cal walks lead down in two wide curves to levels, where the water falls again into a basin shaded grotto, and rises the third time in an fountain. An ancient stone-pine tree springs str upwards, spreading out lovely branches. Ther bushes again and a magnolia, and a Japanese m and there is moss. The stone mouldings of the tains are rich with the green tints of time. The softly damp, smelling of leaves and ¿owers, the corners into which the sunlight never shines, mysteries of perpetual shade that are full of winter, but in summer repeat the fanciful confide of a delicious and imaginary past.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
