Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Paradise of the Pacific: Sketches of Hawaiian Scenery and Life My First View of "Paradise" - Landing - Scene at the Wharf - A Memorable Drive - Chinatown - The Fire of 1886 - Natives by the Wayside - An English Breakfast at Iolani College - Distance in 1780 and in 1886 - Mosquitoes - The First Evensong in Honolulu. "The mountain wooded to the peak, the lawns And winding glades high up like ways to Heaven, The slender coco´s drooping crown of plumes, The lightning flash of insect and of bird, The lustre of the long convolvuluses That coil´d around the stately stems, and ran E´en to the limit of the land, the glows And glories of the broad belt of the world." - Enoch Arden. I have often applied these words to the Islands in which it has been my happiness to live for the past five years. Never was name more fitly applied than that of the "Paradise of the Pacific" to the Hawaiian Islands. Never was there less disappointment in human things than the day when first the morning dawn revealed Honolulu to my eyes.
