driver slowly prepared for the journey, and we found ourselves
once more on the homeward road, with the aqueduct and the
winding river with all its reflections in the background, we
felt that we had left an earthly paradise behind us : the more
fascinating and romantic that it is almost unknown and few
intrude upon its sacred solitude.
