Joseph Pennell's Pictures in the Land of Temples

XII THE TEMPLE OF JUNO FROM BELOW, GIRGENTI

Reading edition

OUT of the dark river-bed and the huge boulders: some real, some blocks that have fallen from the wall above, slid down the high scarred hill and come to rest in confusion at the bottom. Above the shattered wall silently stand in the pale morning light the long line of pillars of the temple. And all the while I drew, the Sicilian glared at me from behind the great rocks, and I was glad when I had finished and could come away.
