"...the windows twinkle with lattices, and tendrils of flowers hang from latticed balconies; for which reason Sevilla as a whole looks like a harem, like a cage, or - no,wait a bit - it looks as if across it were stretched chords, upon which your eyes strum an amorous refrain to your enchantment."
An illustration from the book "Letters From Spain" written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'.
