Opis

Excerpt from Constantinople The emotion I felt on entering Constantinople, almost obliterated from my recollection all that I had seen in my ten days voyage from the Straits of Messina to the mouth of the Bosphorus. The blue Ionian Sea, motionless as a lake, the distant mountains of the Morea tinted with rose by the first rays of the sun, the ruins of Athens, the Gulf of Salonica, Lemnos Tenedos, the Dardanelles, and many persons and things that had diverted me during the voyage, all grew pale in my mind at the sight of the Golden Horn; and now, if I wish to describe them, I must work more from imagination than from memory. In order that the first page of my book may issue warm and living from my mind, it must commence on the last night of the voyage, in the middle of the Sea of Marmora, at the moment when the captain of the ship approached me, and putting his hands upon my shoulders, said, "Signori, to-morrow at dawn we shall see the first minarets of Stamboul."
