IV
DIAMANTE
Micaela Palmeri was on her way to Diamante with
Giannita.
They had taken their places in the post-carriage
at three o’clock in the morning, and had driven up
the beautiful road over the lower slopes of Etna,
circling round the mountain. But it had been quite
dark. They had not seen anything of the
surrounding country.
The young signorina by no means lamented over
that. She sat with closed eyes and buried herself
in her sorrow. Even when it began to grow light,
she would not lift her eyes to look out. It was not
until they were quite near Diamante that Giannita
could persuade her to look at the landscape.
“Look! Here is Diamante; this is to be your
home,” she said.
Then Micaela Palmeri, to the right of the road,
saw mighty Etna, that cut off a great piece of
the sky. Behind the mountain the sun was rising,
and when the upper edge of the sun’s disc appeared
above the line of the mountain, it looked as if the
white summit began to burn and send out sparks
and rays.
Giannita entreated her to look at the other side.
And on the other side she saw the whole jagged
mountain chain, which surrounds Etna like a towered
wall, glowing red in the sunrise.
