“On the mountainside terrace at Son Moragues (Majorca), the unfortunate Empress sat down to rest with her cousin for a moment. ‘In order to relish life,’ he told her, as he always did, ‘you have to transform yourself into something impracticable for other people – an island – since people don’t do anything but destroy the charm of things. It is only there, where they can’t reach, that solitary things preserve their primitive and eternal beauty.’”
