Էջ 74 - A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, Dirty and dusky, but as wide as eye Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping In sight, then lost amidst the forestry Of masts; a wilderness of steeples peeping On tiptoe through their sea-coal canopy; A huge, dun cupola, like a foolscap crown On a fool's head - and there is London Town!
Էջ 20 - I am sick of descriptive letters, and will have no more of them. But I should like some sketches of German life and society, after you have been there and know something about it. If the letters are good, you shall be paid for them, but don't write until you know something.
Էջ 130 - With thy country's drink brimmed o'er ! In thy left the sword is blinking, Pierce it through the cap, while drinking To thy Fatherland once more ! " With the first line of the last stanza the Presidents, sitting at the head of the table, take their glasses in their right hands, and at the third line the sword in their left, at the end striking their glasses together, and drinking. ' ' In the left hand gleaming, thou art beaming.
Էջ 121 - Within the walls the greater part of Frankfort is built in the old German style — the houses six or seven stories high, and every story projecting out over the other, so that those living in the attics can nearly shake hands out of the windows. At the corners...

Էջ 230 - Around the wall on the inside, is suspended the enormous chain which the Turks stretched across the Danube at Buda, in the year 1529, to obstruct the navigation. It has eight thousand links, and is nearly a mile in length The court is filled with cannon of all shapes and sizes, many of which were conquered from other nations. I saw a great many which were cast during the French Revolution, with the words " LibcrtJ ! Egalite !" upon them, and a number of others bearing the simple letter "N.
Էջ 41 - ... with sun and shade. I have as yet seen nothing that in pastoral beauty can compare with its glassy winding stream, its mossy old woods, and guarding hills — and the ivy-grown, castellated towers embosomed in its forests, or standing on the banks of the Leven — the purest of rivers. At...
Էջ 87 - IN the market-place of Bruges stands the belfry old and brown ; Thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded, still it watches o'er the town. As the summer morn was breaking, on that lofty tower I stood, And the world threw off the darkness, like the weeds of widowhood. Thick with towns and hamlets studded, and with streams and vapors gray, Like a shield embossed with silver, round and vast the landscape lay.
Էջ 225 - The sounds struggled forth, so perfect and distinct, that one almost expected to see them embodied, whirling in wild dance around him. Sometimes the air was so exquisitely light and bounding, the feet could scarcely keep on the earth ; then it sank into a mournful lament, with a sobbing tremulousness, and died away in a long-breathed sigh. Strauss seemed to feel the music in every limb. He would wave his fiddle-bow...
Էջ 399 - Rome, that takes away the gloomy associations of death, and makes one wish to lio there, too, when his thread shall be spun to the end. We found first the simple head-stone of Keats, alone, in the grassy meadow.
