Description:Excerpt from In Old Ceylon: Hull down, hull down, lies Lanka, sleeping island of the saints. But already for several days the air has been soft with its scented odour of sanctity. Faint breezes of perfume hover and linger round the ship as she dreams her way across the surface of a flawless opal sea. And each night the calm dark sweetness of the tropics thrills yet more and more poignantly about us; the tender warmth of the South lays its fingers on our heart-strings, and sets them dancing to strange unaccustomed tunes. Everything heralds the approach of fairyland - of that beautiful dream-Paradise which is the very kingdom of heaven on earth - the land for ever consecrated to holy feet that never lighted there. And so at last one rises, in the blazing morning, to the reality of sweltering Colombo. Colombo, city of small account, has no place in the existence of Lanka.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
