"Brundisium longæ finis cartæque viæque."
Otranto lies yet further; but Otranto,
yet more notably than Bari, comes
within the Venetian Notitia. So does
Brundisium, city of the stag's horn,
of the haven so aptly called, if we
only knew in what tongue it is that
Brentesium has that meaning. But
we are tempted to regret that Brindisi
and not Otranto is the point for which
Hadria has to be crossed. Brindisi
has no moral claim. We cannot look
thence, as we can from Otranto, upon
the mountains of still enslaved Epeiros;
no one is tempted even to dream that
he looks on free Corfu or on the lesser
satellite that stands in front as its
outpost.
