Analysis of A Night in Sicily
Willie Dean, Jr. 1959 (Detroit)
A Night in Sicily
The Cobblestones tell the story of waves, crashing against the cymbals, facial fountains spitting waterfalls of fresh water in the twilight, passing through small towns, with intimate cafes, where church bells sing the songs of sorrows, of the fallen of ancient vendettas. In romantic landscapes, I lost my heart to the beauty of this place. Mountains in the distance, rising just above eye level circled by stringing candelabra, the aroma of uncorked age-old Nerello Mascalese. The people greet one another with smiles, weaving on scooters along the path near Blue Oceans.
