Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 174: January April, 1892 Art. I.- 1. Collectanea. First Series. Edited by C. R. L. Fletcher, M.D. Oxford, 1885. 2. Collectanea. Second Series. Edited by Professor Montagu Barrows, M.A. Oxford, 1890. From the remotest recesses of the inhabited world men look back upon Oxford with something of the passionate sympathy that the exiled Italian poet felt for Florence. To some the University stands out with the clear detail of a recent severance; for others its outlines are mellowed in the mists of memory. But those to whom Oxford appeals as Alma Mater, are not alone in recognizing the fascination of the place. No stranger can be wholly insensible to its surpassing charm, though the enthusiasm of the Elizabethan poet may sound high pitched and exaggerated: ´He that hath Oxford seen, for beauty, grace, And healthiness, ne´er saw a better place. If God Himself on earth abode would make, He Oxford sure would for His dwelling take.´ Jewel and setting are in keeping. The one is worthy of the other. The wide, breezy, sun-bathed meadows, through which the Isis flows; the warm, green-muffled hills of Cumnor, Shotover, and Elsfield; the little valleys, that wind down their slopes towards the plain, - enhance the fascination of the tree embowered, old-world city, whose buildings, like those of Rome, suggest that other edifices, yet grander, once occupied the sites of the ancient Colleges. Nor is it only to the loyalty of her sons, or to the sympathies of all lovers of the picturesque in art and nature, that the University and City of Oxford appeal.
