D.H. Lawrence said it perfectly in his 1921 travel memoir Sea and Sardinia:
“Sardinia is another thing. Much wider, much more ordinary, not up-and-down at all, but running away into the distance. Unremarkable ridges of moor-like hills running away, perhaps to a bunch of dramatic peaks on the southwest. This gives a sense of space … lovely space about one, and traveling distances-nothing finished, nothing final. It is like liberty itself … ” D.H. Lawrence. Sea and Sardinia. 1921.
To me, Sardinia is an island filled with striking coastlines and impressive interiors. She’s also my home.

Certainly different from where I live in suburban Sydney 🙂

Thank you kindly, Marcy. 🙂
