I haven't, unfortunately, so that the world is full of places to which I want to return -- towns with the blinding white sun upon them; stone pines against the blue of the sky; corners of gables, all carved and painted with stags and scarlet flowers and crowstepped gables with the little saint at the top; and grey and pink palazzi and walled towns a mile or so back from the sea, on the Mediterranean, between Leghorn and Naples.
The Good Soldier Ford Madox Ford 1906
