A Short History of Spain (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Short History of Spain

Europe is like a garden which has been planted at long intervals with different kinds of seeds; all alike brought from that same Aryan garden in Asia, but widely differing from each other in quality. None ever bore such blossom and such fruit as those first choice seeds which were scattered in Greece. In fact, none bore any fruit or blossom at all until they were grafted with the first marvellous growth from that classic land.

The rest sent out great outspreading branches, and grew into rank forests; and their deep, strong roots became at last so interlaced and intermingled that the original character of the growth was sometimes lost.

Such was the case in Spain.
