" These veteran olives are gnarled, split and twisted trunks, throwing out arms that break into a hundred branches. At a distance the same olives looks hoary and soft - a veil of woven light or luminous haze. When the wind blows their branches all one way, they ripple like a sea of silver." - J. A. Symonds. Date: 1904
