April 23.
The clouds looked very threatening this morning,
and I had scarcely commenced my ascent to the an-
cient acropolis, before I was incommoded by a driz-
zling rain. In Crete rain usually falls on four or five
days during the month of April, but never sufficiently
for the people to speak, as our Chaucer does, of the
time
"Whanne that April with his shoures sote
The droughte of Marche hath perced to the rote."
