[ilds] Somewhere between Calabria and Corfu the blue really begins

[Godshalk, William (godshawl)]

Well, there are plenty of references to ships, islands, etc. No Corfu though.

The book ends with: "clear immortal blue." 

Did Larry read it? I leave it to you. 

O, yes, the chief character is a man called Gissing.

Does Morely's book have related subject matter, i.e., the Ionian or the Aegean?  The next question:  any evidence that LD knew of this title?  I'm inclined to think it's a coincidence.
