Epigraph

Page 145: “E te’ ccà ’na timpulata!” occurs in another document as:
“E te ’ccà ’na timpulata!”, and in another as “E te’ ’ccà ’na timpulata!”

Many French accents are missing from the English text, e.g.
Page 181: “Mistral... paints the Provence of the valley of the Rhone,...”

Page 335: ‘compact’ is correct; = ‘agreement’.

(Apparently she took the advice and kept the compact,)

Page 348: “nni” in “Lu mè rifugiu nni la sorti orrenna,” is as printed.
It may not be an error.

The transliteration of Greek words is indicated, in the text, by a dotted line underneath the Greek word/s.

Scroll the mouse over the Greek word and the Latin transliteration will appear: νήνιτος

Will no one tell me what she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago:
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of to-day?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again!

W. Wordsworth.
