Description:Excerpt from Familiar Letters of Flittings 'Round Naples: City of Sweet-Do-Nothing "Oh, for a beaker full of the warm South." - Keats. To M. S. S ... November, 19 - Marvelous sunset to-night! Rose and violet and gold - proof that we near bell' Italia where sunsets are meeting ground for all rainbows of the world. Indeed all sunsets have mysteriously taken on added magic and splendor since moment we touched these Mediterranean waters. Sea itself so serene and wonderfully blue one longs to be a mermaid. Foretaste of the Tyrrhenian we shall know at Naples -already a vast pool of liquid lapis-lazuli, shading darkly purple, with the purple of Old World irises, when mysteries hidden in these waters are stirred as we sail swiftly toward the Siren's port of Parthenope. Sky too is of Napoli, like some wonderful Cathedral baldacchino of Our Lady. Ever blue, blue! - shades unnameable, indescribable! In truth did I tell you symphony of a thousand blues, 'tis no fantastic rhapsody. For there is the cobalt of before the dawn and the delicate turquoise when once day has scattered his first gold across the heavens. And ultramarine and deepest sapphire glow at those splendid hours when the sun, like the very Host in wonderful monstrance of precious gold, hung high above us. And shades of deep indigo of mystery as night fell and the eyes of God, as these Italians sweetly call the stars, shone through with the magic of their pellucid light to light us on to Napoli. Land where for each of us perhaps, prophecies are to be fulfilled just as long ago prophecy of his Goddess-Mother was to the Pious AEneas at last fulfilled on those same fabled shores.
