Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grass of the Desert Let us leave Rome till some of us go there again she has beauties of her own, and will ever be a name to conjure with, even if we care little for the beginning of her decadence in art, which our grandfathers took to be the culminating point of her splendour, and let us loaf in a gondola through the city of the Doges. We have seen many pictures together, and have heard much of the same music, we have read many of the same poems, and we know that at the bottom we are agreed about all these. But we have talked little of the generalizations of criticism and of philosophy, and we must first of all make sure that we understand each other as well in expression as we do in reality.
