Elizabeth von Arnim
“The guide–book warmly recommends the seashore when the wind is in the east (which it was) as the quickest and firmest route from Göhren to Thiessow; but I chose rather to take the road over the plain because there was a poem in the guide–book about the way along the shore, and the guide–book said it described it extremely well, and I was sure that if that were so I would do better to go the other way. This is the poem — the translation is exact, the original being unrhymed, and the punctuation is the poet’s —


Splashing waves
Rocking boat
Dipping gulls —
Dunes.

Raging winds
Floating froth.
Flashing lightning
Moon!

Fearful hearts
Morning grey —
Stormy nights
Faith!

I read it, marvelled, and went the other way.”
Elizabeth von Arnim, The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen

“Verona has long haunted the English imagination.”
Francis Russell, 101 Places in Italy: A Private Grand Tour: 1001 Unforgettable Works of Art
