The sky was milk the desert, honey far off Cairo with its crowned citadel, pale opal veined with light, and faintly streaked with misty greens and purples; the cultivated land a deep indigo sea. On the fringe of the oasis-garden the cafes and curiosity-shops buzzed with life, and glittered like lighted beehives. Outside the gateway, donkey-boys and camel-men and drivers of sandcarts chattered.
"Very nice sandcarts very nice camels! Take ladies and gentlemen quick to Pyramids and Sphinx or Petrified Forest!"
Oriental life encircled us, in the foreground of the picture a long row of waiting camels gaily saddled and tasselled, delicately nibbling bersim green as heaped emeralds donkeys white and gray, beribboned and beaded small yellow sandcarts; little white, desert horses and tall brown, desert men; camels snarling, donkeys braying, horses whinnying, and men touting.
