Excerpt from Virgil in Relation to the Place of Rome in the History of Civilization: A Lecture Given to Oxford University Extension Students
"Torbole (Lake of Garcia), September 12, 1786, after (midday) dinner. How I long to have my friends for a moment with me that they might enjoy the prospect which stretched in front of me!
"I might have been this evening in Verona, but a noble piece of nature's handiwork lay somewhat off my route, a magnificent spectacle, the Lake of Garda. I did not want to miss it, and rich is the reward which I have received for my detour.
"From the chamber where I am sitting, a doorway gives on the courtyard beneath. I have dragged my table in front of this and sketched the view with a few lines. You can overlook the lake almost for its entire length; only at the end does it wind out of sight toward the left. The shore, closed in 011 both sides with hills and mountains, sparkles with innumerable little habitations.
"After midnight the wind blows from North to South; the traveller therefore who wishes to go down the Lake ought to make his journey at this time, as several hours before sunrise the current of air changes round and streams northwards. At this moment, in the afternoon, it is blowing strongly against me and cooling the hot sun quite delightfully.
