Pàgina 11 - A land of old, upheaven from the abyss By fire, to sink into the abyss again ; Where fragments of forgotten peoples dwelt, And the long mountains ended in a coast Of ever-shifting sand, and far away The phantom circle of a moaning sea.
Pàgina 55 - this uniformity of barrenness can afford very little amusement to the traveller, that it is easy to sit at home and conceive rocks and heath and waterfalls, and that these journeys are useless labours which neither impregnate the imagination nor enlarge the understanding,
Pàgina 119 - where from the cliffs the torrents thrown Mingle their echoes with the eagle's cry, And with the sounding lake, and with the moaning sky. Such are the scenes, where savage grandeur wakes An awful thrill that softens into sighs ; Such feelings rouse them by dim

Pàgina 142 - adventurous pace, Six miles its top points gradual from the base. Up the high rise with panting haste I pass'd And gained the long laborious steep at last. More prudent thou, when once you pass the deep, With measured pace, and slow, ascend the
Pàgina 54 - variety, but gloomy spaces, different rocks, heath, and high and low . . . the whole of a dismal gloomy brown, drawing upon a dirty purple, and most of all disagreeable when the heather is in bloom.
