as described by A.F. Calvert, Southern Spain
The wide realm of tawny Spain
a bare recital of facts
a little gossip
the gay Moor is likely to assimilate
various scraps of originals
vade-mecum
recall to the returned traveller
the Catholic King’s doubtless shortcomings
a high dado of “azulejos”
sherry in its native place
I was disturbed in this tranquil palace
since to be murdered by a madman
is not among
the more agreeable experiences of a lifetime
in these days of distorted aesthetics
and vice versa
loungers bedecked with flowering plants
asleep on the seats
you will crave that cool wind afterwards
but I digress
and I counsel you against doing so
my interest in bull-killing
was never more than languid
the city, of which I only caught a glimpse
