"In the great square before the mosque, the perishable products of
the island were piled in blazing array: baskets of enormous gold
pomegranates, tons upon tons of fresh-gathered olives awaiting the
auction block and oil press, great branches of rich red dates, little
hillocks of bright oranges, huge oily lemons competing with the splash
of tangerines for brightest hue."
Richard Halliburton, The Glorious Adventure.
