City of Genoa to sally forth in search of sunshine and the Middle A ges. At least that was what the Poet said, for sunshine and Ancient Stones were the passions of the Poet slife. The Philosopher insisted that we went in search of Happiness. It is no matter. But in fact we did meet one July day of sweltering sunshine in Genoa, the Western Gate of I taly, which is a city of grateful shadows, whose narrow streets defy the brilliant sun. This is a book of simple delights, a chronicle of little pleasures, so I shall not talk much of Genoa, although to my mind she is the most Italian of all the great cities of I taly. Nor shall I speak of Florence, or Naples, or Venice, or Rome. Doubtless, like me, you have loved them all.
