עמוד 13 - Poetic fields encompass me around, And still I seem to tread on classic ground ; For here the Muse so oft her harp has strung, That not a mountain rears its head unsung, Renown'd in verse each shady thicket grows, And every stream in heavenly numbers flows.
עמוד 144 - We followed this sort of half-subterranean passage for the space of nearly two miles, the sides increasing in height as the path continually descended, while the tops of the precipices retained their former level. Where they are at the highest, a beam of stronger light breaks in at the close of the dark perspective, and opens to view, half seen at first through the tall, narrow opening, columns, statues, and cornices of a light and finished taste, as if fresh from the chisel, without the tints or...
עמוד 148 - This pass conducts to the theatre, and here the ruins of the city burst on the view in their full grandeur, shut in on the opposite side by barren craggy precipices, from which numerous ravines and valleys, like those we had passed, branch out in all directions. The sides of the mountains, covered with an endless variety of excavated tombs and private dwellings, presented altogether the most singular scene we ever beheld...
עמוד 146 - ... them, are so perfect that it may be doubted whether any work of the ancients, excepting perhaps some on the banks of the Nile, have come down to our time so little injured by the lapse of ages. There is, in fact, scarcely a building of forty years' standing in England so well preserved in the greater part of its architectural decorations.
עמוד 145 - We know not with what to compare this scene: perhaps, there is nothing in the world that resembles it. Only a portion of a very extensive architectural elevation is seen at first; but it has been so contrived, that a statue with expanded wings, perhaps of Victory, just fills the centre of the aperture in front, which being closed below by the sides of the rock folding over each other, gives to the figure the appearance of being suspended in the air at a considerable height ; the ruggedness of the...
עמוד 13 - Th' immortal islands, and the well-known sea. For here so oft the muse her harp has strung, That not a mountain rears its head unsung.' I beg your pardon for this sally, and will, if I can, continue the rest of my account in plain prose. The second day after we...
עמוד 146 - The taste is not exactly to be commended ; but many of the details and ornaments, and the size and proportion of the great doorway especially, to which there are five steps of ascent from the portico, are very noble. No part...
עמוד 137 - Immediately over this front is another of almost equal extent, but so wholly distinct from it, that even the centres do not correspond. The door-way has the same ornaments. The rest of the body of the design is no more than a plain front, without any other decoration than a single moulding. Upon this are set in a recess four tall and taper pyramids. Their effect is singular and surprising, but combining too little with the rest of 'the elevation to be good. Our attention...
עמוד 146 - ... both sides into an open area of a moderate size, whose sides are by nature inaccessible, and present the same a,wful and romantic features as the avenues which lead to it : this opening gives admission to a great body of light from the eastward. The position is one of the most beautiful that could be imagined for the front of a great temple, the richness and exquisite finish of whose decorations offers a most remarkable contrast to the savage scenery which surrounds it.
