Excerpt from Lost Letters From Lesbos

During our stay in Cairo in the win ter of 1900, we made an excursion to Naukratis,l which was most interesting and instructive. I for one almost over came my prejudice to Pharaoh Hopras,2 when I saw how thoroughly he had ap preciated Greek culture, and I shared to a degree the enthusiasm of the German Egyptologists who are finding so much that is precious in this greco-egyptian town. I felt like taking a grubbing axe and spade in my own hands, so eager was I to unearth something in the way of a Greek relic from Egyptian soil.
