From "On the Lago Di Garda: The Lemon Gardens" in Twilight in Italy by D.H. Lawrence

"I sat and looked at the lake.  It was beautiful as paradise, as the first creation.  On the shores were the ruined lemon-pillars standing out in melancholy, the clumsy, enclosed lemon-houses seemed ramshackle, bulging among vine stocks and olive trees.  The villages, too, clustered upon their churches, seemed to belong to the past.  They seemed to be lingering in bygone centuries. . . .

"Yet what should become of the world?  There was London and the industrial counties spreading like a blackness over all the world, horrible, in the end destructive.  And the Garda was so lovely under the sky of sunshine. . . ."
