Excerpt from Many Years of a Florence Balcony
These pages are the record of a woman's home in the city of Florence for twenty years.
The balcony, massive and spacious, with time worn parapet, is above the door of the house, and affords a glimpse of distant hills across the Arno, adjacent gardens, and the range of street to the Cascine gate, in one direction, the Lung' Arno, spanned by bridges, to the height of San Miniato in the other.
It IS a balcony of many memories of the passing seasons, Of clouds, sunshine, and starry nights. Time has flowed on swiftly, imperceptibly, the days strung on the fragile chain of events, all inter woven into the pattern of the weeks, months, and years.
Few visitors to the Arno banks, especially women, fail to question themselves thus.
