"This was Corfu, and we strained our eyes to make out the exact shapes of the mountains, to discover valleys, peaks, ravines, and beaches, but it remained a silhouette. Then suddenly the sun lifted over the horizon, and the sky turned the smooth enameled blue of a jay's eye. The endless, meticulous curves of the sea flamed for an instant and then changed to a deep royal purple... Along the shore curved beaches as white as tusks..."
- My Family and Other Animals, Gerald Durrell (1956)
