I HAVE thoroughly explored the vicinity of the estate. I have circled several times that whole immense terrain secured by a high fence. The villa’s white walls, its terraces and extensive verandas, were revealed to me in continually new aspects. Beyond it a park extends, giving way in turn to a treeless plain. Strange buildings stand there, half factories, half farm buildings. I put my eye to a chink in the fence, and only a trick of the light can have given rise to what I glimpsed there. In the villa’s spring atmosphere, rarefied by the heat, faraway things appeared many times over, mirrored through whole miles of shimmering air. And yet my head is bursting with the most contradictory thoughts. I must consult the stamp album.
