Shadowy Sicily.

Sicily is in some sense a land of
shadows-a land where the dead are
more present to the mind than the
living-a land where one feels ones
self to be a breathing man visiting,
like Dante or like Hercules, the realms
of phantoms. Everywhere you are
haunted by the ghosts of great men or
the memories Of gpeat events or of
great and departed nations.
In the lemon groves of the promon
tory of Naxos one fancies the sickly
Nicias Willing away the winter,
while his fleet rides in the bay outside
the Greek harbor. At Syracuse we
see a whole host of great shades
Nicias again and Lamachus, slain near
the Anapo, and the ghosts of thou
sands of Athenians perishing in the
great harbor and on the cliffs Of Epi-
| polae and, last of all, in the quarries,
and so vanishing into thin air. And
| again by the shores of Ortygia we
| think of Plato and Pindar and Bacchy-
! .ides and Simonides, the visitors at the
court of the stately Hero, and last, but
not least, of st. Paul tarrying for
short space in the harbor and per-
haps preaching in some of the squares
and streets of the old city.
There is yet another figure who fol-
lows ones thoughts through Sicily
the naughty and mystical Empedocles.
We remember him on the slopes of
Etna, in his native Acragas, and again
at Selinus. And even in bright and
| busy Palermo the dead are more to
US than the living. 1t is of Hamilkar
Or Marcellus or Frederick II and the
brilliant Norman kings that we think
the most. So thoroughly in Sicily do
the shadows of the past dominate the
living present.-Sir Edward Fry's
Studies by the Way"
