"To me the beauty
of Ceylon lies not so much in its blue seas and golden beaches, its jungles and
its mountain peaks, as in its ancient atmosphere. There is no nation, from Egypt
of the Pharaohs to modern Britian, in whose literature this island has not at
some time been mentioned by one or other of its many names -- Lanka, Serendib,
Taprobane, Cellao, Zellan, to recall a few. History lies buried in its sands,
and ghosts of romance lurk among its bastioned rocks, for Lanka is very, very
old."
