whimsical patience


"We climbed a long series of flights of steps to a vantage point where the view opened out before us. Here and there could be seen terraces enclosed by latticework; tiny, well-tended gardens in some level spots: rooftops and light, airy wooden pavilions painted and carved with whimsical patience."

- Gérard de Nerval
