Página 130 - To men of other minds my fancy flies, Embosom'd in the deep where Holland lies. Methinks her patient sons before me stand, Where the broad ocean leans against the land, And sedulous to stop the coming tide, Lift the tall rampire's artificial pride.

Far other dreams my erring soul employ, Far other raptures of unholy joy : When at the close of each sad, sorrowing day...

Página 131 - The city of Rotterdam has been greatly admired, and it is one which, when visited, will not disappoint the expectations which have been raised. As we proceeded through the streets on our way to the hotel, we felt delighted on viewing the regularity and grandeur of the houses, the splendour of the shops, the neatness of the streets, the crowds on the footpaths, the rows of trees, the broad canals, the forest of masts of large vessels, with the trees, lamps, and houses on the other side of the street...
