THE GREEK ISLANDS Quotes

“A barren rock, nude as a skull and waterless, it crouches in the austere splendour of its nudity, glowering at you. It is as silent and watchful as a Mycenaean lion – though perhaps that is not the right choice of image to convey its sphinxine immobility and sense of indestructibility.”
― Lawrence Durrell, THE GREEK ISLANDS
