“Imagine a ruddy island and of shy aspect; the lighthouse(headlight) in a point(headland), in other one an old Genoese tower where, in my time, accommodated an eagle. Down, at the water's edge, a lazaret there ruins, pervaded of everywhere by herbs; then, from ravines, scrublands(resistance movements), from big(great) rocks, some wild goats(tackles), small Corsican horses gamboling the mane in the wind; finally, up here, at the very top, in a whirl of sea birds, the house of the lighthouse(headlight), with its platform of white masonry, where the guards walk to and fro, the green door in ogive, the small tower of cast iron, and above the engrossment dawdles in facets which burns(soars) in the sun and makes light during day Here am the island of Bloodthirsties, as I have seen again(have revised) it this night, by intending to snore my pines. It was on this enchanted(delighted) island where before having a mill I am going to lock myself sometimes, when I needed open air and solitude”. Alphonse Daudet in The letters of my mill
