"...look out, as far as your eye can reach..."
"...side by side in impartiality appear the shadows of church and mosque..."
"...on the sea during the obscurity of the night, in the silence of immensity, and under the eye of Heaven..."
"The streets lie straight up and down the hills, and straight across at right angles, these in sun, those in shadow..."
"...until one has known the wilderness one cannot begin to understand the cities."
“…between them is a swarm of gondolas.”
“He saw the darkening lands slipping away past him…”
