Landskabet vugger sig omkring den lille i by. Man nrmer sig til den over blgende hje, der slres af olivenskove, som var de indspundne i grgrn silke. Nr vejen lfter sig over en bakke, ligger byen forsnket i en blgedal og vinker med sine trne. Den ligner en murkrone, trykt ned over en af hjene. Vejen snor sig, og staden bliver borte. Rytteren traver blge op og blge ned og stirrer efter staden som efter et smrke.Nrved ser det ud, som havde en hrd hnd fra himlen slet ned i denne skov af murpiller. Som var trnene splintrede og kappede i et uvejr. Som var hattene blst af. Kun et enkelt brer endnu sin taghjelm, der stritter p fire piller; under dens hvlving hnger en klokke. Den holder for tiden sin malmtunge rolig. Rebet falder lodret ned i trnet.
