To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mark's. There are few pedestrians; for though you may easily traverse the whole town dry- footed along the little quays which border the various canals, and through the scores of tiny lanes which blend together in an almost inextricable labyrinth, these channels of circulation are too narrow and tortuous to admit of the passage of any considerable number of pro- menaders at once, and indulge, moreover, in so many circuits and de'tours as to double and even triple the dis- tances from point to p...oint. It is, therefore, by the canals and in the gondolas that the Venetians travel about their city, a gentle and peaceful mode of transport, whose light ripple, far from troubling the silence, seems to render it only the more impressive and more solemn.
And here the question naturally arises, What is a gondola? We turn to Byron for a reply : — " Didst ever see a gondola? for fear You should not, I'll describe it you exactly : 'Tis a long covered boat that's common here, Carved at the prow, built lightly but compactly ; Digitized by VjOOQIC WHA T IS A GONDOLA ?
