"The towers and columns of the rocks of Montserrat...I myself call heaven to witness that they resemble upraised fingers clutched together as in prayer; and so Montserrat prays with a thousand fingers, avows with lifted forefingers, blesses pilgrims and makes a sign."
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'.
