Excerpt from A White Umbrella in MexicoI have delighted my soul with the sway ing Of the lilies in the sunlight, the rush of the roses crowding over mouldy walls, the broad-leaved palms cooling the Shad ows, and have wasted none of my precious time searching for the lizard and the mole crawling at their roots.
Content with the novelty and charm of the picturesque life about me, I have watched the naked children at play and the patient peon at work; and the haughty hidalgo, armed and guarded, inspecting his plantation and the dark-skinned seno rita with her lips pressed close to the gratings Of the confessional; and even the stealthy, furtive glance of the outlaw, without caring to analyze or solve any one of the many social and religious problems which make these conditions possible.
