Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eliza Ross: Or, Illustrated Guide of Lookout Mountain Brief chapter in the long and ghastly tale, The epic muse will pen in lines of blood, Of squandered lives from Tennessee vale To Mississippi´s grand and glossy flood. In attempting to describe the sublime grandeur of this mountain, whose majestic old brow is crowned with laurels that no human hand can wither by its ruthless touch, we feel bow truly insignificant we are. As Solomon, in his dedication of the Temple, exclaimed in solemn reverence, "Shall I ask God to come and dwell in a place so small as this, when all the earth cannot contain him?" so may we say, shall we attempt to describe this gigantic piece of His workmanship, and do it justice? No! no more than could the artist, whose name is upon the immortal roll of fame, tint his brush in the glowing hues of the sunset dyes in the horizon above this huge structure of nature, adorned with all that beauty which pleases the eye and enraptures the soul. And now, kind reader, let your fancy follow us to the translucent waters of the Tennessee river, in the beautiful State of that name, and refresh your heart upon its loveliness. In one broad, silvery expanse, it reflects, by day, the golden sun like a chariot of fire, and by night, it mirrors the dimple gems that stud her sable banners. Onward rolls the majestic waters, presenting views at once variegated, awful, grand and sublime! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
