[Gutenberg 49343] • Old Court Life in Spain, vol. 1/2

Excerpt from Old Court Life in Spain, Vol. 2

The time is early summer; the sky an unbroken sphere of blue, as deep and smooth as a turquoise, canopying the blanched domes and pinnacles of the cathedral and illuminating with ineffable splendour the elegant galleries of the Giralda tower. No shade any where, ou plaza, patio or river bank; nothing but a blazing sun, making golden motes; the thinly leaved palms scarcely leaving a reflection on the hot earth.
