"I don't think there is a place in the world more ideal than Pantelleria to think of the moon. And Pantelleria is much more beautiful. The endless plains of volcanic rock, the calm sea, the houses with its windows where you can see in the windless nights the lights of the African lighthouses...bottom of the seas asleep...an ancient amphor with stoned garlands and the remains of some wine corroded over the years...baths in a smokey conch in waters so thick you can walk on them..."
