The Silent Monks of San Martino and a Quiet Tale
Charles Warren Stopparp writes of the Carthusian monastery at San Martino near Naples with its velvet mosaics and silent life under a grand basilica. The piece contrasts noble monks, their vows, and the depredations of Victor Emmanuel, then shifts to a whimsical extended children’s vignette about three Arab siblings, their kite bonnet mishap, eggs gathering, a giant frog, and a family supper misadventure ending with a gentle moral.
