I do not think I shall ever forget the sight of Etna at sunset: the
mountain almost invisible in a blur of pastel grey, glowing on the top
and then repeating it's shape, as though reflected, in a wisp of grey
smoke, with the whole of the horizon behind it radiant with pink light,
fading genly into a grey pastel sky. Nothing I have ever seen in Art or
Nature was quite so revolting.
