Mark Twain nos Açores II

O Eduardo que me perdoe por publicar novamente em inglês, mas os açorianos vão gostar de saber que Mark Twain nem sempre falou mal das nossas ilhas.
Novamente citado por Robert L. Santos:
"Mark Twain praised the Azoreans for their well-kept villages:
Every street is handsomely paved . . . and the surface is neat and true as a floor . . . Everywhere are walls, walls, walls -- and all of them are tasteful and handsome -- eternally substantial . . . the town and the island are miracles of cleanliness.
Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad (New York: P.F. Collier & Son, 1911), 39-40."
