“Italy worked some marvel in her. It gave her light, and — which he held more precious — it gave her shadow. Soon, he detected in her a wonderful reticence. She was like a woman of Leonardo da Vinci’s, whom we love not so much for herself as for the things that she will not tell us.” — E.M. Forster
