Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From Switzerland Travels in Italy, Vol. 4 When, a few years ago, the copies of the following letters were first made known to us, it was asserted that they had been found among Weather´s papers; and it was pretended, that, before his acquaintance with Charlotte, he had been in Switzerland. We have never seen the originals, however, we would not on any account anticipate the judgment and feelings of our readers; for, whatever may be their true history, it is impossible to read them without sympathy. Part the First. How do all my descriptions disgust me, when I read them over! Nothing but your advice, your command, your injunction, could have induced me to attempt any thing of the kind. How many descriptions, too, of these scenes, had I not read before I saw them! Did these, then, afford me an image of them, or, at best, but a mere vague notion? In vain did my imagination attempt to bring the objects before it: in vain did my mind try to revolve from them some thoughts. Here I now stand contemplating these wonders; aud what are my feelings in the midst of them! I can think of nothing, I can feel nothing; and how willingly would I both think and feel! The glorious scene before me excites my soul to its inmost depths, and impels me to be doing; and yet what can I do - what do I? I now sit down and scribble and describe. Away with you, ye descriptions! Delude my friend, make him believe that I am doing something, -that he sees and reads something. Were, then, these Switzers free? - free, these opulent burghers in their little pent-up towns? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
