Gerald Durrell Quotes
The Daffodil-Yellow Villa
The New Villa Was Enormous, A Tall, Square Venetian Mansion, With Faded Daffodil-yellow Walls, Green Shutters, And A Fox-red Roof. It Stood On A Hill Overlooking The Sea, Surrounded By Unkempt Olive Groves And Silent Orchards Of Lemon And Orange Trees.
... The Little Walled And Sunken Garden That Ran Along One Side Of The House, Its Wrought-iron Gates Scabby With Rust, Had Roses, Anemones And Geraniums Sprawling Across The Weed-grown Paths ...
... There Were Fifteen Acres Of Garden To Explore, A Vast New Paradise Sloping Down To The Shallow, Tepid Sea.
