"Great vision! At the sunset seven lakes were seen.
Believe me: you can travel along all France and Germany,
but you never try such emotion!"

(Henry Beyle - Stendhal)

"In the end, my spirit, tormenting itself of beautiful love
for a too much beautiful one,
has found something in which null is to blame:
the landscape between Laveno and Varese.":

(Henry Beyle - Stendhal)
