Jan Morris Quotes

I Write Sourly, For Disliking Artificially Conserved Communites I Have Tended To See The Salvation As More Distressing Than The Threat: But In My More Rational Moments I Do Recognize That Letting Venice Sink, My Own Solution For Her Anxieties, Is A Counsel Of Perfection That Cannot Be Pursued. She Will Be Saved, Never Fear: It Is Only In Selfish Moments Of Fancy That I See Her Still Obeying Her Obvious Destiny, Enfolded At Last By The Waters She Espoused, Her Gilded Domes And Columns Dimly Shining In The Green, And At Very Low Tides, Perhaps, The Angel On The Summit Of The Campanile To Be Seen Raising His Golden Forefinger (for He Stands In An Exhortatory, Almost An Ecological Pose) Above The Mud-banks.
