[A Wanderer in Venice by E.V. Lucas]@TWC D-Link bookA Wanderer in Venice CHAPTER XIV 14/15

For antiquaries there is a museum of excavated relics of Torcello; but with time so short it is better to wander a little, seeking for those wild flowers which in England are objects of solicitude to gardeners, or watching butterflies that are seen in our country only when pinned on cork.
