Description
Excerpt from Aegean Days
But, if many of these pages seem steeped in literary or historic lore, it may be pleaded that the Aegean atmosphere IS so saturated with the memories of a great Past that one cannot escape them if he would. More than that, the solid monuments of every age challenge you at every turn and the stately figures of legend and history enter into your life for the time being well -nigh as really as do the men and women with whom you talk and traffic. To under stand the living Greek one must know old Greek life and know it well - well enough, at least not to insist on too much of survival.
