📔 The Land of Midian

by Richard Francis Burton

Quotes from this book

Walking round the eastern bay, where the ubiquitous black sand striped the yellow shore, we observed that the tide here rises only one foot, whereas at Suez it may reach a metre and a half to seven feet.

Nothing could be more promising than the weather, a young moon mirrored in a sea smooth as oil.
