Alphonse de Lamartine

The artist, Andrew Darel, is anxiously awaiting the result of the Hermosa competition; his room is invaded by fellow-artists and others, who crown him with laurels and inform him that he is the lucky winner of the purse of money. Amid a scene of gaiety he takes his departure for Italy, and one day, when admiring the beautiful view from Sorrento, he hears a voice singing among the orange trees. A closer view reveals to him a beautiful girl clad in the picturesque garments.
