Strana 174 - Insuperable height of loftiest shade, Cedar, and pine, and fir, and branching palm, A sylvan scene ; and, as the ranks ascend Shade above shade, a woody theatre Of stateliest view.
Strana 244 - Or the unseen genius of the wood. But let my due feet never fail To walk the Studious cloister's pale, And love the high embowed roof, With antique pillars massy proof, And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim, religious light.
Strana 247 - Charles, that is, the qualities which give true sterling value to the man, and sanctify him to the eyes of his Creator — I mean humility, self-command, temperance, industry, prudence and fortitude — were not inferior to his public endowments. His table was for his guests ; his own diet was confined to bread and vegetables ; he allowed himself no amusement or relaxation, alleging that the variety of his duties was in itself a sufficient recreation. His dress and establishment...
Strana 264 - ... snow. Their sides are seldom formed of one continued steep, but usually interrupted by fields and levels extending in some places into wide plains, which supply abundant space for every kind of cultivation. These fertile plains are generally at one third, and sometimes at two thirds, of the total elevation.
Strana 241 - Its double aisles, its clustered pillars, its lofty arches, the lustre of its walls, its numberless niches, all filled with marble figures, give it an appearance novel in Italy and singularly majestic.
Strana 264 - Larimm territory : various mines of iron, lead, and copper, are now as they were anciently, spread over its surface, and daily opened in the bowels of its mountains ; besides quarries of marble, which supply Milan and all the neighbouring cities with the materials and the ornaments of their most magnificent churches.
Strana 414 - The next ceremony to which I have alluded, is that called the adoration of the Pope ; it takes place almost immediately after his election, when he is placed in a chair on the altar of the Sixtine chapel, and there receives the homage of the cardinals : this ceremony is again repeated on the high altar of St. Peter's. Now in this piece of pageantry, I object not to the word adoration; no one who knows Latin, or reflects upon the sense which it bears on this and on a thousand other occasions, will...
Strana 246 - Alps, to visit every village in person, and inspect and correct every disorder, are offices of little pomp and of great difficulty. Yet, this laborious part of his pastoral charge he went through with the courage and the perseverance of an apostle ; and so great was his success, that the diocese of Milan, the most extensive perhaps in Italy, as it contains at least eight hundred and fifty parishes, became a model of decency, order, and regularity, and in this respect has excited the admiration of...
Strana 409 - Prelate, in full robes, is always in waiting ; and when the bell rings, the door of the pontifical apartment opens, and the Pope is seen in a chair of state, with a little table before him. The person presented kneels once at the threshold, again in the middle of the room, and, lastly, at the feet of the Pontiff, who, according to circumstances, allows him to kiss the cross embroidered on his shoes, or presents his hands to raise him. The Pontiff...
Strana 26 - It is clothed with corn, poplars, mulberries, and vines in their most luxuriant graces, waving from tree to tree, still covering the greater part of the city with vegetation, and forming with the dark brown masses half buried below a singular and most affecting contrast. This scene of a city, raised...
