In the Polynesian words used in this volume,--except in those cases where the spelling has been previously determined by others,--that form of orthography has been employed, which might be supposed most easily to convey their sound to a stranger. Typee by Melville, Herman View in context.
Little Street, Johannes Vermeer, c. 1658. New stop on Delft tourist trail after Vermeer's Little Street identified. Few artists have left such a deep imprint on their birthplace as Johannes Vermeer on Delft. In the summer, tour parties weave through the Dutch townâs cobbled streets ticking off Vermeer landmarks.
The narrow streets with leaning townhouses have so much charm. If we hadnât lived in the Pijp, we would have wanted to live here. It is a very trendy area with great boutique shopping as well and lots of cool little restaurants. My favorite restaurant in Amsterdam, Balthazarâs Keuken, is located here.
