Jan Morris Quotes
As For The Scenes We Shared In The Piazza Unita That Day In 1897, I Can Hear The Music Still, But All The Rest Is Phantom. The Last Passenger Liner Sailed Long Ago. The Schooners, Steamboats And Barges Have Disappeared. No Tram Has Crossed The Piazza For Years. The Caffe Flora Changed Its Name To Nazionale When The Opportunity Arose, And Is Now Defunct. The Governor's Palace Is Now Only The Palace Of The Prefect And The Lloyd Austriaco Headquarters, Having Metamorphosed Into Lloyd Triestino When The Austrians Left, Are Now Government Offices: Wistfully The Marble Tritons Blow Their Their Horns, Regretfully Neptune And Mercury Linger Upon Their Entablatures. Those Silken And Epauletted Passengers, With All They Represented, Have Vanished From The Face Of Europe, And I Am Left All Alone Listening To The Band.
