Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hand Book to Monterey and Vicinity: Containing a Brief Resumé of the History of Monterey Since Its Discovery; A General Review of the Resources and Products of Monterey and the Country; Descriptive Sketches of the Town, and the Points of Interest in the Neighborhood; Carmel Mission and Vall Like a maiden musing sadly o´er her suitors turned away, Long she sat in lonely beauty close beside her crescent bay. Heeding not the world of action that beyond her portals lay; Careless of the strife of nations, living only for to-day. Dreaming of a golden future, while the present drifted by, As a ship becalmed may linger ´neath the storm-cloud in the sky. All her passions wrapped in slumber; slowly through her languid veins Flowed her blood, as in midsummer creeps the stream across the plains. Never lover came to woo her, never woke she from her trance, Like the mystic Sleeping Beauty in the pages of romance. Till the fairy Prince of Progress smiled upon her hidden charms, On her ripe lips quickly kissed her, reached and drew her to his arms. At his touch she slowly started: Indolence her limbs had bound While she lingered, idly dreaming, where the tasseled tree-tops sound; And though heart and soul were eager to accept the proffered love, ´Neath the tyrant´s chain they struggled, as the wings of prisoned dove. Not in vain she strives to free them; for, behold! the chain is burst! Aided by the arm of Progress soon the last shall be the first. Soon a queen among the cities that adorn our golden coast Shall she stand, and in her glory, of her noble lover boast. Edwin Emmet Curtis.
