Rome, Italy: a buzzing, bustling, beautiful city

Rome, Italy…The poison of travel seems fresh as the dew and the thirsty soul drinks it longing; after a fleeting intoxication, the drinker makes sick and a slow death dies.  The scene is commonplace.  Lime-green a woman slices over to the cafe, all glass, all reflection as a red sun burns down to the horizon.
Colosseum: Your heart will feel contentment of finding it and your soul renovated when seeing it.  This massive amphitheatre could seat 50,000 and was the venue for the gory gladiator and wild animal fights so loved by the Romans. It has no centre, no significance, or, if any, one beyond our ken.  He passed hours in their company, how much he loved those birds and their soft ways he couldn’t even say. Piazza Navona: The focal points of this elegant piazza are the three fountains, of which Bernini’s Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is the most extravagant.
