Charles Dickens Quotes
Within The Harbour, Or On The Beautiful Sea Without. The Line Of Demarcation Between The Two Colours, Black And Blue, Showed The Point Which The Pure Sea Would Not Pass; But It Lay As Quiet As The Abominable Pool, With Which It Never Mixed. Boats Without Awnings Were Too Hot To Touch; Ships Blistered At Their Moorings; The Stones Of The Quays Had Not Cooled, Night Or Day, For Months. Hindoos, Russians, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Genoese, Neapolitans, Venetians, Greeks, Turks, Descendants From All The Builders Of Babel, Come To Trade At Marseilles, Sought The Shade Alike - Taking Refuge In Any Hiding-place From A Sea Too Intensely Blue To Be Looked At, And A Sky Of Purple, Set With One Great Flaming Jewel Of Fire. The Universal Stare Made The Eyes Ache. Towards The Distant Line Of Italian Coast, Indeed, It Was A Little Relieved
