Abstract

In the Driftway

December 3, 1930 issue

add to cart close window

The article throws light on Alhambra hill. It is a quiet hill. Birds fly and sing, a carriage or an automobile goes slowly up or down the long slope. Sometimes a cock's crow strays in from the prosaic world outside. But there is never anything that quite drowns out the one pervading music of the place -the sound of water. And in the palaces and gardens of the Alhambra one never loses the sound of splashing streams. Each room and terrace and court has its fountain, fed by a network of streams under and above ground. This flowing water is the life of the place- an evidence of continuity.
