Venice ~ Love at First Sight
“To build a city where it is impossible to build a city is madness in itself, but to build there one of the most elegant and grandest of cities is the madness of genius.”
~ Alexander Herzen
“At the bridge I stood
lately in the brown night.
From afar came a song:
as a golden drop it welled
over the quivering surface.
Gondolas, lights, and music —
drunken it swam out into the twilight.
My soul, a stringed instrument,
sang to itself, invisibly touched,
a secret gondola song,
quivering with iridescent happiness.
— Did anyone listen to it?”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
“It is the city of mirrors, the city of mirages, at once solid and liquid, at once air and stone.”
~ Erica Jon
“A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.”
~ Arthur Symons.
