Quiet Days in Sapin (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from Quiet Days in Sapin

Of the South, the Spaniard looks that way for life. All his dreams are of the East and of the Moorish period in the West. His old romances are based almost entirely on Arabic themes his modern stage characters hail from Morocco his lover of fiction is under the, spell of eyes which have captivated him in Tangier. The Moor is the eternal enemy, and by a strange power of fascination is the most admired as he is the best hated man in the world of the Spaniards.

Some people want and even expect Spain to change and become like the rest of Europe. Asif it were possible Rather let us be thankful for the distinctiveness of the nations, for this world will be a dull affair if the busybodies ever succeed in making it much of a muchness.
