First Paragraph

1985. The Alps make you feel all starched and clean as you fly into Milan - they punctuate the long transatlantic sleep of a nighttime flight; groaning bodies stir and strengthen and come to morning life as the mountains exert a rosy magnetic pull that won't allow you not to pay them the compliment of being crisply awake.

- From Italian Days by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
