Pagina 44 - ... left the country of crags and precipices, of mists and cataracts, and were entering the fertile territory of the Bassanese. It was now I beheld groves of olives, and vines clustering the summits of the tallest elms ; pomegranates in every garden, and vases of citron and orange before almost every door. The softness and transparency of the air soon told me I was arrived in happier climates ; and I felt sensations of joy and novelty run through my veins, upon beholding this smiling land of groves...
Pagina 49 - Amongst the multitudes, I remarked a good many whose dress and carriage announced something above the common rank ; and, upon inquiry, I found they were noble Venetians, just come from their casinos, and met to refresh themselves with fruit before they retired to sleep for the day. .
