Seite 250 - Above me are the Alps, The palaces of Nature, whose vast walls Have pinnacled in clouds their snowy scalps, And throned Eternity in icy halls Of cold sublimity, where forms and falls The avalanche — the thunderbolt of snow !

Seite 13 - It changed, of course; a heavenly chameleon, The airy child of vapour and the sun, Brought forth in purple, cradled in vermilion, Baptized in molten gold, and swathed in dun, Glittering like crescents o'er a Turk's pavilion, And blending every colour into one, Just like a black eye in a recent scuffle (For sometimes we must box without the muffle).

Seite 235 - At present all is energy and enterprise ; everything is in a rapid state of transition, but of rapid improvement — so rapid, indeed, that those who would describe America now, would have to correct all in the short space of ten years ; for ten years in America is almost equal to a century in the old continent.
