| PAGE |
| "The thatched roofs are replaced by roofs of shingle that shine like silver in the sun" |
| "Very different are the mountain villages from those of the plain. The cottages are less miserable" |
| "Many a hearty welcome has been given me in these little villages" |
| "Square, high buildings with an open gallery round the top" |
| "It is especially in the Dobrudja that these different nationalities jostle together" |
| "It had kept the delightful appearance of having been modelled by a potter's thumb" |
| "Primitive strongholds, half tower, half peasant-house" |
| "Richer and more varied are the peasants' costumes" |
| "With an open gallery round the top formed by stout short columns" |
| "Composed of a double colonnade.... Behind these colonnades are the nuns' small cells: tiny domes, little chambers" |
| "A convent ... white and lonely, hidden away in wooded regions greener and sweeter than any other in the land" |
| "This porch is decorated all over with frescoes" |
| "Some were so old, so bent, that they could no more raise their heads to look up at the sky above" |
| "Strange old monks inhabited it" |
| "Silent recluses, buried away from the world" |
| "An indescribable harmony makes its lines beautiful" |
| "A lonely little cemetery, filled with crosses of wood" |
| "On lonely mountain-sides" |
| "Guarded by a few hoary old monks" |
| "There lies a tiny wee church" |
| "Tall and upright, with the pale, ascetic face of a saint" |
| "Creatures so old and decrepit that they seem to have gathered moss like stones lying for ever in the same place" |
| "When found in such numbers they are mostly hewn out of wood" |
| "These strange old crosses ... they stand by the wayside" |
| "Mostly they stand beside wells" |
| "Quaint of shape, they attract the eye from far" |
| "Sometimes they are of quaintly carved stone" |
| "Strange old crosses that on all roads I have come upon" |
| "Their forms and sizes are varied" |
| "None of the greater buildings attract me so strongly as those little village churches" |
| "The altar is shut off from the rest of the building by a carved and painted screen" |
| "The roofs are always of shingle" |
| "Varied indeed are the shapes of these peasant churches" |
| "Their principal feature being the stout columns that support the porch in front" |
| "But with some the belfry stands by itself" |
| "The columns have beautiful carved capitals of rarest design ... whitewashed like the rest of the church" |
| "Quaint indeed are the buildings that some simple-hearted artist has painted" |
| "These lonely mountain-dwellers" |
| "These shaggy garments give them a wild appearance" |
| "Their only refuges are dug-outs" |
| "Even tiny boys wear these extraordinary coats" |
| "Here, in company with their dogs, they spend the long summer months" |
| "On juicy pastures near clear-flowing stream" |
| "Silent watchers leaning on their staffs" |
| "Wherever I have met them, be it on the mountains or in the plains, ... these silent shepherds have seemed to me the very personification of solitude" |
| "On the burning plains of the Dobrudja where for miles around no tree is to be seen" |
| "Stifled by the overwhelming temperature, they had massed themselves together" |
| "Mothers and children, and old grannies" |
| "Small bronze statues with curly, tousled heads" |
| "Occasionally a torn shirt barely covers them" |
| "Most beautiful of all are the young girls" |
| "Inconceivably picturesque" |
| "These are the respected members of the tribes" |
| "I have often met old couples wandering together" |
| "A bare field where the soldiers exercised" |
