Стр. 29 - WHO has not heard of the Vale of Cashmere, With its roses the brightest that earth ever gave, Its temples, and grottos, and fountains as clear As the love-lighted eyes that hang over their wave...
Стр. 111 - Or to see it by moonlight, — when mellowly shines The light o'er its palaces, gardens, and shrines; When the waterfalls gleam like a quick fall of stars, And the nightingale's hymn from the Isle of Chenars Is broken by laughs and light echoes of feet From the cool shining walks where the young people meet.
Стр. 167 - Some purple-wing'd sultana, sitting Upon a column, motionless And glittering, like an idol bird ! — Who could have thought, that there, e'en there. Amid those scenes so still and fair, The Demon of the Plague hath cast From his hot wing a deadlier blast...
Стр. 160 - ... even to the nature of the veins that it contains. Further east, overlying the granite and dioritic rocks, are stratified porphyries; and here, at a height of two thousand two hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea, as at Ladrillos, commence the indications of silver, disseminated in extremely fine particles of chloro-bromide ; but on excavating this indication soon disappears, and it is not until we reach a more elevated point that silver is found very abundantly, and where the stratification...
Стр. 148 - From his Haram of night-flowers stealing away ; And the wind, full of wantonness, woos like a lover The young aspen-trees, till they tremble all over.

Стр. 231 - sa bliss beyond all that the minstrel has told, When two, that are link'd in one heavenly tie, With heart never changing and brow never cold, Love on through all ills, and love on till they die ! One hour of a passion so sacred is worth Whole ages of heartless and wandering bliss ; And oh ! if there be an Elysium on earth, It is this, it is this.
Стр. 8 - The fisherman finds ample use for the rod, the artist for his sketch-block and colours, the archaeologist, linguist, botanist, or geologist, may well whet their enthusiasm over the stately...
Стр. 152 - When the shrines through the foliage are gleaming half shown, And each hallows the hour by some rites of its own.
Стр. 7 - The Valley of Kashmir owes its fame, doubtless, not less to the wild grandeur of the barriers which surround it than to its own intrinsic loveliness. It is this contrast which has led the poets of all nations to speak of it as an " emerald set in pearls." But the varied beauties of Kashmir appeal to every want and taste. For the cultivator of the soil, there is fertility of land, abundance of water, variety and plenty of natural products, whether grains or fruits. For the herdsman, there is rich...
Стр. 134 - One, — what a rapture is his. Who in moonlight and music thus sweetly may glide O'er the Lake of Cashmere, with that One by his side ! If woman can make the worst wilderness dear. Think, think what a heaven she must make of Cashmere...
