More quotes by Honor Tracy
In rural Spain, at least, it is far better to arrive than to travel, however hopefully.
Honor Tracy
Cadiz is a city of magic, like Cracow or Dublin, to set the mind on fire at a turn of a corner. ... The eye is continually fed, the imagination stirred, by a train of spectacles as charming as if they had been contrived.
Honor Tracy
